In all the way through earth I take, I need Thee, Lord, I need Thee, To teach me how to think and speak, I need Thee, Lord, I need Thee; To lead me in the path of right, To help me put the foe to flight, And always keep my armor bright, I need Thee, Lord, I need Thee.
When tempted by Satanic pow’r, I need Thee, Lord, I need Thee, To help me through the trying hour, I need Thee, Lord, I need Thee; I need Thy strength and grace divine, No love can comfort, Lord, like Thine, No other doth my heart entwine, I need Thee, Lord, I need Thee.
When Thou art nigh, how calm my heart! I need Thee, Lord, I need Thee, For Thou dost sorrow bid depart, I need Thee, Lord, I need Thee; Oh, stay with me, My Lord, I pray, And let me share Thy love each day; From Thy dear side I’ll never stray, I need Thee, Lord, I need Thee.
