Hymn day: “Just When I Need Him Most”

HYMN DAY! “Just When I Need Him Most” by William C. Poole isn’t one I recall singing frequently when I was growing up, but as soon as I started reading it, the music came to memory. It’s such a wonderful reminder of where we should turn when we’re in need. Read these words and be encouraged.

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
