Lyrics

In the dew of early youth,
None can help like Je­sus;
Seeking after pearls of truth,
None can help like Je­sus;
He’s the source of living light,
He will guide your steps aright;

Refrain

None can help like Je­sus,
No! none like Je­sus.

In the midday whirl of care,
None can help like Je­sus;
When you heavy burdens bear,
None can help like Je­sus;
He will give you sweetest rest,
All who trust in Him are blest;

Refrain

In the twilight’s fading glow,
None can help like Je­sus;
When your strength is ebbing slow,
None can help like Je­sus;
He will shield from death’s alarms,
Fold you in His loving arms.

Refrain
