Jesus is the help­er
Of the trou­bled heart,
And to those who sor­row
He will strength im­part:
Strength for ev­ery trial
He will sure­ly give,
If we simp­ly trust Him,
And His Word be­lieve.

Refrain

Helper di­vine, Thou art ev­er near,
Whispering a pro­mise
Fainting souls to cheer,
Helper di­vine, Thou art ev­er near,
Whispering a pro­mise
Fainting souls to cheer.

Thro’ the vale of sha­dows
All must some­time go,
When the heart seems break­ing
With its weight of woe.
In that hour, when ang­uish
Chills your heart and brow,
Hear His gen­tle whis­per,
I am with you now.

Refrain

When a heart is si­lent
That for you beats true,
Christ is by you stand­ing;
He will com­fort you;
Weep not, Je­sus bids you
Dry the fall­ing tear;
From the grave is ban­ished
All its dark­ness drear.

Refrain
