82. Just When I Need Him

1 Just when I need Him,
Jesus is near,
Just when I falter,
just when I fear;
Ready to help me,
ready to cheer,
Just when I need Him most.

Refrain:
Just when I need Him most,
Just when I need Him most;
Jesus is near to comfort and cheer,
Just when I need Him most.

2 Just when I need Him,
Jesus is true,
Never forsaking
all the way through;
Giving for burdens
pleasures anew,
Just when I need Him most. [Refrain]

3 Just when I need Him,
Jesus is strong,
Bearing my burdens
all the day long;
For all my sorrow
giving a song,
Just when I need Him most. [Refrain]

4 Just when I need Him,
He is my all,
Answering when
upon Him I call;
Tenderly watching
lest I should fall,
Just when I need Him most. [Refrain]
