11600. More And More I Need Thee

1 More and more I need Thee,
Precious Friend divine;
More and more I need Thee,
In this heart of mine.
Thou last led me ever,
Still my refuge be;
Savior, loving Savior,
Abide with me.

Refrain:
More and more,
I need Thee, oh, I need Thee;
Savior, loving Savior,
Abide with me.

2 More and more I need Thee,
Thou, my all in all;
More and more I need Thee,
Lest I faint and fall…
I am weak and helpless,
Thou my strength must be;
Savior, loving Savior,
Abide with me. [Refrain]

3 More and more I need Thee,
In temptation’s hour;
More and more I need Thee,
Need Thy keeping power;
Let my soul, uplifted,
Cling by faith to Thee,
Savior, loving Savior,
Abide with me. [Refrain]

4 More and more I need Thee,
While the days go by;
More and more I need Thee,
While the moments fly;
In Thy secret presence,
Let my dwelling be;
Savior, loving Savior,
Abide with me. [Refrain]
