A Helping Hand

Author: Geo. A. Smith Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Helping Others First Line: Somebody near you is struggling alone Refrain First Line: Lend him a helping hand Lyrics: 1 Somebody near you is struggling alone Over life’s desert land; Faith, hope and courage together are gone, Reach Him a helping hand; Turn on his darkness a beam of your light, Kindle, to guide him, a beacon-fire bright; Cheer his discouragements, soothe his affright: Lend him a hand. Chorus: Lend him a helping hand, Lend him a hand; Cheer him and help him to stand, Lend him a hand. 2 Somebody near you is hungry and cold; Send him some aid today; Somebody near you is feeble and old, Left without human stay; Under his burdens put hands kind and strong, Speak to him tenderly, sing him a song, Haste to do something to help him along: Lend him a hand. [Chorus] 3 Dear one, be busy, for time flyeth fast, Soon it will all be gone; Soon will our season of service be past, Soon will our day be done. Somebody near you needs now a kind word, Someone needs help such as you can afford; Haste to assist in the name of the Lord, Lend him a hand. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Somebody near you is struggling alone]
