Just a Little Help From You

Representative Text

1. Do you ever stop, my friend, to think,
The while this world you’re passing thro’
Someone may be saved from ruin’s brink,
By just a little help from you?

Refrain
Just a little help from you,
Just a little help from you;
Wondrous things the Lord may do,
By just a little help from you.

2. Just a little deed of kindness now,
It may the faith of one restore,
Who beneath some load of grief doth bow,
Is almost ready to give o’er. [Refrain]

3. Just a little word of Jesus’ love,
Some precious soul may help decide
To forsake the wrong and look above,
And let the Lord his footsteps guide. [Refrain]

4. Let us do our part, ere day is done,
And to our calling faithful be;
For the world to Christ must now be won,
By help of you, by help of me. [Refrain]
