I never could do without Jesus

Verse 1

Oh, what could I do with my sorrows, And how could I carry my care, If I had not a Saviour most tender, Who helps me my burdens to bear?

Chorus

I never could do without Jesus, I never could carry my care, If I had not this Saviour so wiling My sorrows and troubles to share.

Verse 2

Oh, many a time am I weary, And many a time am I tried; But I just go at once to my Saviour, And all to His love I confide.

Verse 3

I tell Him the whole of my trouble, In patience my story is heard; Oh, He’s better than parent or brother, He listens to catch ev’ry word.

Verse 4

These talks that I have with my Saviour, They give me fresh strength for my day; Like a giant refresh’d from his slumber, I rise and go forth on my way.

Verse 5

He says that He never will leave me, My helper and guide He will be, Till I reach the bright home in glory Which love is preparing for me.
