A Very Present Help

Author: Lilla M. Alexander Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: Assurance; Faith and Trust; Guidance First Line: There is never a day so dreary Lyrics: 1 There is never a day so dreary, But God can make it bright; And to the soul that trusts Him, He giveth pure delight; There is never a path so hidden, But God will lead the way, If we seek for the Spirit’s guidance, And patiently wait and pray. 2 There never a cross so heavy, But the Jesus hands are there, Outstretched in sweet compassion, Our burden still to bear; There is never a life so darkened, So hopeless, so unblest, But may be filled with gladness, In Jesus’ peace may rest. 3 There is never a heart so broken, But Jesus Christ can heal; The heart once pierced on Calv’ry Doth for His people feel; He will ever fulfill His promise, His word can never fail; God is our help in trouble, Our strength when foes assail.
