Songs of Grace and Glory ‎#159

159. I Need Thee

1 I need thy help, dear Father,
Lest from thy fold I stray;
Upon the barren mountains,
Away, so far away.

Refrain:
I need thee, I need thee,
The counsel of thy Word;
I need thee, I need thee,
My loving Lord.

2 I need thy voice to cheer me,
In lonely hours of care;
And if I only hear thee,
Sweet is the rest I share. [Refrain]

3 I need thy hand to guide me,
Thy steps to go before;
I need thee close beside me,
Till life on earth is o’er. [Refrain]

4 I need thee, Lord, to help me
While here on earth I roam;
I need thee, yes, I need thee
To guide me safely home. [Refrain]
