I need Thee all the way; Keep me near Thee, precious, precious Jesus, I need Thee day by day. 2 I need the love of Jesus, To cheer me on my way; To guide my wand'ring footsteps, To be my strength and stay. I need the heart of Jesus, To feel each anxious care; To carry all my sorrows, My heavy burdens bear. [Chorus] 3 I need Thee, precious Jesus! I need a Friend like Thee; A Friend whose love is constant, Who always cares for me. I need the light of Jesus, To tread life's thorny road, To lead me safe to glory, Where I shall meet my God. [Chorus] 4 I need Thee, precious Jesus! I need Thee day by day-- To fill me with Thy fullness, To lead me on my way. I need Thy Holy Spirit, To teach me what I am, To show me more of Jesus-- To lead me to the Lamb. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [I need Thee, precious Jesus!]

Smith Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 104 hymnals Scripture: John 15:5 Lyrics: 1 Planted in Christ, the living vine, This day, with one accord, Ourselves, with humble faith and joy, We yield to thee, O Lord. 2 Joined in one body may we be; One inward life partake; One be our heart; one heavenly hope In every bosom wake. 3 In prayer, in effort, tears, and toils, One wisdom be our guide; Taught by one Spirit from above, In thee may we abide. 4 Complete in us, whom grace hath called, Thy glorious work begun, O thou in whom the church on earth And church in heaven are one. 5 Around this feeble, trusting band Thy sheltering pinions spread, Nor let the storms of trial beat Too fiercely on our head. 6 Then, when, among the saints in light, Our joyful spirits shine, Shall anthems of immortal praise, O Lamb of God, be thine.

Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ in quiet, Christ in danger, Christ in hearts of all that love me, Christ in mouth of friend and stranger. 7 I bind unto myself the name, the strong name of the Trinity by invocation of the same, the Three in One and One in Three, of whom all nature has creation, eternal Father, Spirit, Word.
