1 There is never a day so dreary
But Jesus can make it bright;
There is never a burden weary,
But Jesus can make it light.

Refrain:
There is no one so kind and tender
As Jesus the sinner’s friend;
And he is our true Defender,
And will be unto the end.

2 There is never a life so saddened
But Jesus can bring it joy;
Wonderful how the heart is gladdened
With peace no one can destroy! [Refrain]

3 There is never a soul repenting,
That Jesus will not forgive;
There is never a heart relenting,
That cannot find peace and live. [Refrain]
