Oft when the day is drea­ry,
Oft when the storm clouds low­er,
Oft when my spir­it’s wea­ry—
Jesus im­parts His pow­er.

Refrain

Jesus is near, bur­dens to bear;
Weary one, Je­sus will help thee;
Jesus is near, bur­dens to bear;
His blood from sin doth cleanse thee.

He bids me tell my sto­ry,
Telling, He gives me rest;
And while my sor­rows shar­ing,
Shelters me in His breast.

Refrain

Jesus, Thy heart is with me
All thro’ the dark­est night,
As when the sun shines clear­ly
Making my path­way bright.

Refrain

Wondrous in love is Je­sus,
Sweet is the rest He gives;
Sharing in all my toil­ing,
While in my heart He lives.
