Full Lyrics
1. The reason we love friendship
We will deny to no man,
How shall, how shall, how shall we
Who are thus formed for happiness.
E'er slight a loving Christian;
Since Jesus, Jesus hath died on the tree,
To rescue sinful men
From violence and treason.
That we might love each other,
And seek our soul's salvation :
'Twas love that moved the mighty God
For to redeem the nations,
That happy, happy we might be.
2. On the feast day of ancient times,
Jesus flood thus crying
Whoso thirsteth let ev'ry one
Come unto me and freely drink,
And thus be saved from dying,
For surely, surely, there's nothing else can
Quench the immortal flame
That in your heart is glowing.
Then come and taste the streams of grace
Which are so freely flowing,
Saying, drink my love, my only dove,
For you they now are flowing,
Then happy, happy you shall be.
