JESSIE'S FRIEND, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Little jessie, darling pet
Last Line: Come, oh come to me.'
Subject(s): Friendship; Jesus Christ


LITTLE Jessie, darling pet,
Do you want a Friend?
One who never will forget,
Loving to the end;
One whom you can tell when sad
Everything that grieves;
One who loves to make you glad,
One who never leaves.

Such a loving Friend is ours,
Near us all the day,
Helping us in lesson hours,
Smiling on our play;
Keeping us from doing wrong
Guarding everywhere,
Listening to each happy song
And each little prayer.

Jessie, if you only knew
What He is to me,
Surely you would seek Him too,
You would 'come and see.'
Come and you will find it true,
Happy you will be;
Jesus says, and says to you,
'Come, oh come to Me.'
