A Helper in the Time of Need

Author: F. M. D. Hymnal: Triumphant Songs No.5 #47 (1896) First Line: I have a Friend, a precious Friend Refrain First Line: O Jesus is the Friend that cares for me Lyrics: 1 I have a Friend, a precious Friend, A Helper in the time of need; He will my soul keep to the end, A Helper in the time of need. Refrain: O Jesus is the Friend that cares for me, Cares for me, cares for me, O Jesus is the Friend that cares for me, A Helper in the time of need. 2 He turns to light the darkest hour, A Helper in the time of need; In pain He soothes with wondrous pow’r, A Helper in the time of need. [Refrain] 3 Thro’ dangers hid or dangers known, A Helper in the time of need; His wings of love are o’er me thrown, A Helper in the time of need. [Refrain] 4 Where’er I go, where’er I stray, A Helper in the time of need; A Guardian all along my way, A Helper in the time of need. [Refrain] Tune Title: [I have a Friend, a precious Friend]
