His grace is enough for me

So, yesterday I had a look at some more hymns and found this one on grace by J Bruce Evans dated 1906. I've failed to find any information about him; the picture is not him, although he may have been feeling like this at the time...

Just when I am disheartened,

Just when with cares oppressed,
Just when my way is darkest,
Just when I am distressed-

Then is my Saviour near me,
He knows my every care;
Jesus will never leave me,

He helps my burdens bear.

Just when my hopes are vanished,
Just when my friends forsake,

Just when the fight is thickest,

Just when with fear I shake -

Then comes a still small whisper:
"Fear not, My child, I'm near."
Jesus brings peace and comfort,
I love His voice to hear.

His grace is enough for me, for me,
His grace is enough for me;
Through sorrow and pain,
Through loss or gain,
His grace is enough for me.

Just when my tears are flowing,
Just when with anguish bent,
Just when temptation's hardest,
Just when with sadness rent-
Then comes a thought of comfort:
"I know my Father knows."
Jesus has grace sufficient

To conquer all my foes.


I've "music'd" this one too, listen here.
