| It came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. (1 Sam. 18:1) |
| David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan’s sake? (2 Sam. 9:1) |
| Ye are My friends. (John 15:14) |
I thank Thee, dearest Lord, for friends,
When morning wakes, when daytime
ends —
And, as the shadows fall,
I know that I will raise my eyes
And see (ah, hope that never dies!)
The dearest friend of all. |
