Can our every sorrow know;

Through life’s journey here below.

Other friends may bless and comfort,
Speak a kind and cheering word;
But the balm to heal the heartache
Only Jesus can afford.

When life’s thorns have pierced the heart,
Can relieve the wounded spirit,
Needful help and grace impart. [Refrain]

When temptation’s billows roll,
Can command the angry tempest,
Strengthen, soothe the trembling soul. [Refrain]

He alone in life and death,
Can support me and I’ll trust Him,
Till my life’s last fleeting breath. [Refrain] Scripture: Proverbs 18:24 Tune Title: [Only Jesus, precious Jesus]
