Jubilate ‎#93

93. Be a Helper

1 The moments are passing, the days quickly fly,
The time to help someone is here;
Go seek out the needy, O pass them not by,
But give to them comfort and cheer.

Refrain:
Be a helper to someone on life’s weary road,
Be a helper and help carry somebody’s load;
Be a helper scattering sunshine abroad,
Leading the weary and helpless unto their God.

2 The friendless and homeless, the heart-sick and sad,
Are needing a friend and a guide;
A word kindly spoken would make their hearts glad,
And brush ev’ry tear drop aside. [Refrain]

3 The sick and the aged, the helpless and poor,
Are needing our help ev’ry day;
So many have sorrow and pain to endure,
While we are so happy and gay. [Refrain]
