110. A Very Present Help

1 There is never a day so dreary,
But God can make it bright;
And to the soul that trusts Him,
He giveth pure delight;
There is never a path so hidden,
But God will lead the way,
If we seek for the Spirit’s guidance,
And patiently wait and pray.

2 There never a cross so heavy,
But the Jesus hands are there,
Outstretched in sweet compassion,
Our burden still to bear;
There is never a life so darkened,
So hopeless, so unblest,
But may be filled with gladness,
In Jesus’ peace may rest.

3 There is never a heart so broken,
But Jesus Christ can heal;
The heart once pierced on Calv’ry
Doth for His people feel;
He will ever fulfill His promise,
His word can never fail;
God is our help in trouble,
Our strength when foes assail.
