Author: Rev. R. M. Offord Hymnal: Alexander's New Revival Hymns #134 (1922) Scripture: Matthew 14:12 First Line: Oh, what could I do with my sorrows Lyrics: 1 Oh, what could I do with my sorrows,
And how could I carry my care,
If I had not a Saviour most tender,
Who helps me my burdens to bear?
Refrain:
I never could do without Jesus,
I never could carry my care,
If I had not this Saviour so wiling
My sorrows and troubles to share.
2 Oh, many a time am I weary,
And many a time am I tried;
But I just go at once to my Saviour,
And all to His love I confide. [Refrain]
3 I tell Him the whole of my trouble,
In patience my story is heard;
Oh, He’s better than parent or brother,
He listens to catch ev’ry word. [Refrain]
4 These talks that I have with my Saviour,
They give me fresh strength for my day;
Like a giant refresh’d from his slumber,
I rise and go forth on my way. [Refrain]
5 He says that He never will leave me,
My helper and guide He will be,
Till I reach the bright home in glory
Which love is preparing for me. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Oh, what could I do with my sorrows]
I never could do without Jesus
