The New Praiseworthy ‎#71

71. Grace to Help Me

1 When a contrite sinner to the Lord I came,
Peace I found believing in His precious name;
Now I'm ever proving when for strength I plead,
There is always grace to help me in my time of need.

Chorus:
Grace to help me, O how rich and sweet!
Grace to help me at the mercy-seat!
When the name of Jesus at the throne I plead,
There is always grace to help me in my time of need.

2 In the daily warfare that I wage with sin,
He hath pow'r to give me victory within;
In His mighty Spirit there is strength indeed;
There is always grace to help me in my time of need. [Chorus]

3 In my lack of wisdom, as His work I do,
Looking to my Savior brings me guidance tree;
Richly will He bless me, as I sow the seed,
There is always grace to help me in my time of need. [Chorus]

4 Sometimes roses sparkle with the dewdrops bright;
Sometimes raindrops fall amid the chilly night;
Thro' the shade and sunshine He will gently lead,
There is always grace to help me in my time of need. [Chorus]
