Author: J. B. Mackay Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #438 (2011) Meter: Irregular with refrain First Line: Is there anyone can help us, one who understands our hearts Refrain First Line: Yes, there's one, only one Lyrics: 1 Is there anyone can help us, one who understands our hearts,
When the thorns of life have pierced them till they bleed;
One who sympathizes with us, who in wondrous love imparts
Just the very, very blessing that we need?
Refrain:
Yes, there's one, only one.
The blessed, blessed Jesus, He's the one;
When afflictions press the soul,
when waves of trouble roll,
And you need a friend to help you,
He's the one.
2 Is there anyone can help us when the load is hard to bear,
And we faint and fall beneath it in alarm;
Who in tenderness will lift us, and the heavy burden share,
And support us with an everlasting arm? [Refrain]
3 Is there anyone can help us who can give a sinner peace,
When his heart is burdened down with pain and woe;
Who can speak the word of pardon that affords a sweet release,
And whose blood can wash and make as white as snow? [Refrain]
4 Is there anyone can help us when the end is drawing near,
Who will go thru death’s dark waters by our side;
Who will light the way before us, and dispel all doubt and fear,
And will bear our spirits safely o’er the tide? [Refrain]
