The Helping Word

Hymnal: Christ in Song #559 (1908) First Line: If any little word of mine Refrain First Line: God help me speak the helping word Lyrics: 1 If any little word of mine May make a dark life brighter, If any little song of mine May make a sad heart lighter. Chorus: God help me speak the helping word, And sweeten it with singing. And drop it in some lonely vale, To set the echoes ringing. 2 If any little love of mine May make a hard life sweeter, If any little care of mine May make a friend's the fleeter. [Chorus] 3 If any little lift of mine May ease a toiler bending, God give me love, and care, and strength, We live for Him by lending.

F. E. Belden

1858 - 1945 Author of "The helping word" Belden was born in Battle Creek, Michigan in 1858. He began writing music in his late teenage years after moving to California with his family. For health reasons he later moved to Colorado. He returned to Battle Creek with his wife in the early 1880s, and there he became involved in Adventist Church publishing. F. E. Belden wrote many hymn tunes, gospel songs, and related texts in the early years of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Belden was able to rapidly write both music and poetry together which enabled him to write a song to fit a sermon while it was still being delivered. He also wrote songs for evang­el­ist Bil­ly Sun­day. Though Belden’s later years were marred by misunderstandings with the church leadership over his royalties, he did donate his papers and manuscripts to the church’s seminary at his death. He died on December 2, 1945 in Battle Creek, Michigan. N.N., Hymnary. Source: http://www.hymntime.com/tch/bio/b/e/l/belden_fe.htm
