Lyrics

In the dew of ear­ly youth,
None can help like Je­sus;
Seeking af­ter pearls of truth,
None can help like Je­sus;
He’s the source of liv­ing light,
He will guide your steps aright;

Refrain

None can help like Je­sus,
No! none like Je­sus.

In the mid­day whirl of care,
None can help like Je­sus;
When you hea­vy bur­dens bear,
None can help like Je­sus;
He will give you sweet­est rest,
All who trust in Him are blest;

Refrain

In the twi­light’s fad­ing glow,
None can help like Je­sus;
When your strength is ebb­ing slow,
None can help like Je­sus;
He will shield from death’s alarms,
Fold you in His lov­ing arms.

Refrain
