He Loves Everybody

Author: James Rowe Hymnal: The New Praiseworthy #36 (1916) First Line: In the hour of trouble, it is sweet to have a friend Refrain First Line: He loves ev'rybody, He loves you Lyrics: 1 In the hour of trouble, it is sweet to have a friend, Some one who is always glad a helping hand to lend; One upon whose faithfulness we ever may depend; Such a friend is always found in Jesus. Chorus: He loves ev'rybody, He loves you; He loves ev'rybody, you should too; There will never be a friend more true; He loves ev'rybody, He loves you. 2 When the storm is sweeping, and the world seems most unjust, When some great misfortune comes and fail you think you must, There's a strong Defender we my safely, surely trust; Such a friend is always found in Jesus. [Chorus] 3 When our souls are tempted, when we reach the sinking sand, And our hearts are longing for a kind, uplifting hand Looking for a Helper who will give us strength to stand; Such a friend is always found in Jesus. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [In the hour of trouble, it is sweet to have a friend]
