You knew the Lord in truth and glory,
But never did you tell the story.
My knowledge then was very dim;
You could have led me safe to Him.

Though we lived together on the earth
You never told me of the second birth
And now I stand this day condemned
Because you failed to mention Him.

You taught me many things that's true;
I called you "Friend" and trusted you
But I learn now, that it's too late
And you could have kept me from this fate.

We walked by day and talked by night
And yet you showed me not the light
You let me live and love and die;
You knew I'd never live on high.

Yes, I called you "Friend" in life
And trusted you through joy and strife
And yet on coming to this dreadful end
I cannot now, call you, my FRIEND."
