No One Can Help You Like Jesus

Author: Mrs. F. A. Breck Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: You may look for true pleasure in many a place Lyrics: 1 You may look for true pleasure in many a place, You may look for true kindness in many a face, You may long for the strength that shall win in life’s race; But no one can help you life Jesus. Refrain: No one can help you like Jesus, No one can help you like Jesus, Never forget your needs will be met; There’s no one can help you like Jesus. 2 In the storm that is wildest, He speaks to bring calm; In the grief that is sorest, He bringeth sweet balm; He will give in the night-time a wonderful psalm; There’s no one can help you like Jesus. [Refrain] 3 When there’s none to deliver, He saves from distress; For our sin He has pardon if we but confess; O, His heart is o’erflowing with great tenderness, There’s no one can help you like Jesus. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [You may look for true pleasure in many a place]
