Jesus Will Help Me

Representative Text

1 Thro’ all the struggles that come to me here,
Jesus will help, Jesus will help;
Just at my side He will ever be near,
Jesus will help me along.

Refrain:
Jesus will help me,
Jesus will help me along;
Jesus will help me,
Jesus will help me along.

2 Jesus will help when I stumble or fall,
Jesus will help, Jesus will help;
Jesus will help be my need great or small,
Jesus will help me along. [Refrain]

3 Jesus will help me the battle to win,
Jesus will help, Jesus will help;
Help me to conquer my every sin.
Jesus will help me along. [Refrain]

4 Then on His help I will ever rely,
Jesus will help, Jesus will help;
Just when I want Him I know He’ll be nigh,
Jesus will help me along. [Refrain]
