Lyrics

Just when I am dis­heart­ened,
Just when with cares op­pressed,
Just when my way is dark­est,
Just when I am dis­tressed—
Then is my Sav­ior near me,
He knows my ev­ery care;
Jesus will ne­ver leave me,
He helps my bur­dens bear.

Refrain

His grace is enough for me, for me,
His grace is enough for me;
Through sor­row and pain,
Through loss or gain,
His grace is enough for me.

Just when my hopes are van­ished,
Just when my friends for­sake,
Just when the fight is thick­est,
Just when with fear I shake—
Then comes a still small whis­per:
Fear not, My child, I’m near.
Jesus brings peace and com­fort,
I love His voice to hear.

Refrain

Just when my tears are flow­ing,
Just when with ang­uish bent,
Just when temp­ta­tion’s hard­est,
Just when with sad­ness rent—
Then comes a thought of com­fort:
I know my Fa­ther knows.
Jesus has grace suf­fi­cient
To con­quer all my foes.
