141. In Time of Need

1 Fear not the pathless wilderness,
O heav'nward pilgrim, onward press;
His word of promise boldly plead,
Who giveth help in time of need.

Refrain:
In time of need, in time of need,
His promise true, sincerely plead;
Come nearer still, it is His will
To give thee help in time of need.

2 The tempter's darts may oft assail,
But hope and courage never fail;
Lift up thy heart, dismiss thy fear,
For One who loves thy soul is near. [Refrain]

3 In storm and darkness and dismay,
A hand divine shall guide the way;
Till Canaan's shore is won at last,
And all thy "time of need" is past. [Refrain]
