110. Be a Helper

1 Be a helper in life’s journey;
Let your sympathy
In the joys, the ills of others
True and heart-felt be;
Oh, the word, the look of comfort,
For the falling tear;
Oh, the ready smile for gladness,
How they soothe and cheer.

Refrain:
Be a helper, willing helper,
Be a helper ev’ry day and ev’rywhere;
Seek God’s blessing, seek God’s blessing,
Then let others in your blessing share.

2 Be a helper in life’s journey;
If your sight be dim,
Ask the Master to direct you
In your work for him;
By his side so closely keeping,
Walking not alone,
Thou canst give a hand to others
When he holds your own. [Refrain]

3 Be a helper in life’s journey,
Tho’ in simple ways,
Trifles show the loving Spirit,
speak the Master’s praise;
Drawing ever from the fulness
Of his heart of love,
Giving, to your own enriching,
Treasures from above. [Refrain]
