47. A Helper in the Time of Need

1 I have a Friend, a precious Friend,
A Helper in the time of need;
He will my soul keep to the end,
A Helper in the time of need.

Refrain:
O Jesus is the Friend that cares for me,
Cares for me, cares for me,
O Jesus is the Friend that cares for me,
A Helper in the time of need.

2 He turns to light the darkest hour,
A Helper in the time of need;
In pain He soothes with wondrous pow’r,
A Helper in the time of need. [Refrain]

3 Thro’ dangers hid or dangers known,
A Helper in the time of need;
His wings of love are o’er me thrown,
A Helper in the time of need. [Refrain]

4 Where’er I go, where’er I stray,
A Helper in the time of need;
A Guardian all along my way,
A Helper in the time of need. [Refrain]
