How Much I Need Thee!
Blessed Lord, how much I need thee!
1
Blessed Lord, how much I need thee!Weak and sinful, poor and blind;Take my trembling hand and lead me,Strength and sight in thee I find.
REFRAIN
Ev'ry hour, ev'ry hour,Blessed Lord, how much I need thee!Ev'ry hour, ev'ry hour,Saviour, keep me ev'ry hour.
2
Clothe me with thy robe of meekness,Stained with sin this robe of mine;Teach me first to feel my weakness,Then to plead for strength divine.
3
Safe am I if thou dost guide me,—Trusting self, how soon I fall!Walk life's rugged way beside me,Thou, my light, my life, my all.
4
Then whate'er the future bringeth,Smiles of joy, or tears of grief,Still to thee my spirit clingeth,Thou art still my soul's relief.
