1 No one can help you but Jesus,
He is your very best friend;
Ever have faith in His goodness,
And on His promise depend.

Refrain:
No one can help you but Jesus,
Jesus alone, Jesus alone;
Tell Him your need, for He loveth
Ever to comfort His own.

2 No one can help you but Jesus,
No one but Jesus alone;
Tell Him your need, He will gladly
Succor and comfort His own. [Refrain]

3 No one can help you but Jesus,
When you are burdened with grief,
Bring Him your trouble and sorrow,
And He will give you relief. [Refrain]
