Jesus, the Helper

Jesus is the help­er

Of the trou­bled heart

And to those who sor­row

He will strength im­part:

Strength for ev­ery tri­al

He will sure­ly give

If we simp­ly trust Him

And His Word be­lieve.

Helper di­vine

Thou art ev­er near

Whispering a pro­mise

Fainting souls to cheer

Helper di­vine

Thou art ev­er near

Whispering a pro­mise

Fainting souls to cheer.

Thro’ the vale of sha­dows

All must some­time go

When the heart seems break­ing

With its weight of woe.

In that hour

when ang­uish

Chills your heart and brow

Hear His gen­tle whis­per

I am with you now.

When a heart is si­lent

That for you beats true

Christ is by you stand­ing;

He will com­fort you;

Weep not

Je­sus bids you

Dry the fall­ing tear;

From the grave is ban­ished

All its dark­ness drear.
