A Blessed Thing It Is To Have A Friend; One Human Soul Whom We Can Trust Utterly; Who Knows The Best And Worst Of Us, And Who Loves Us In Spite Of All Our Faults; Who Will Speak The Honest Truth To Us, While The World Flatters Us To Our Face, And Laughs At Us Behind Our Back; Who Will Give Us Counsel And Reproof In A Day Of Prosperity And Self-conceit; But Who, Again, Will Comfort And Encourage Us In Days Of Difficulty And Sorrow, When The World Leaves Us Alone To Fight Our Own Battle As We Can.

Whatever May Be The Mysteries Of Life And Death, There Is One Mystery Which The Cross Of Christ Reveals To Us, And That Is The Infinite And Absolute Goodness Of God. Let All The Rest Remain A Mystery So Long As The Mystery Of The Cross Of Christ Gives Us Faith For All The Rest.
