Cast all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
1 Peter 5:7
Words & Music: James B. Mackay, in Songs of Praise and Consecration, edited by J. Wilbur Chapman (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: Hall-Mack, 1899) (🔊 pdf nwc).
Is there anyone can help us,
One who understands our hearts,
When the thorns of life
Have pierced them till they bleed?
One who sympathizes with us,
Who in wondrous love imparts
Just the very, very
Blessing that we need?
Refrain
Yes, there’s One, only One,
The blessèd, blessèd Jesus,
He’s the One;
When afflictions press the soul,
When waves of trouble roll,
And you need a friend to help you,
He’s the One.
Is there anyone can help us
When the load is hard to bear,
And we faint and fall
Beneath it in alarm?
Who in tenderness will lift us,
And the heavy burden share,
And support us
With an everlasting arm?
Refrain
Is there anyone can help us
Who can give a sinner peace,
When his heart is burdened
Down with pain and woe?
Who can speak the word of pardon
That affords a sweet release,
And whose blood can wash
And make as white as snow?
Refrain
Is there anyone can help us,
When the end is drawing near,
Who will go thro’ death’s
Dark waters by our side?
Who will light the way before us,
And dispel all doubt and fear,
And will bear our spirits
Safely o’er the tide?
Refrain
