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?

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?

Is there anyone can help us who can give the 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 us white as snow?

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?

Chorus:
Yes, there's One! only One!
The blessed, blessed 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!
