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.
