When the morning shines before you
And your hope is on the rise
As the breath of spring inspires you
From her windy April skies
When the sunny hours and minutes seem to say
They will never go away
Then you know you are befriended.

When clouds have hidden the sun away
In a bleak and ghostly shroud
And the naked trees stand shivering gray
Their garments strewn about
When the frosty air creeps, damp, into your bones
And through the birds’ abandoned homes
Still you know you are befriended
You are befriended.

And in your darkest night
When you’re feeling like a stranger
In a world that’s not your own
God has put these friends around you
So when the tempest swirls around you
You will never be alone
Never be alone.

When your heart is full of music
And you need someone to hear
That you’re deep within the throes of love
Or the icy grip of fear
When your day is bright
All sorrow in the past
Or when you long to flee at last
Still you know you are befriended
You are befriended.
