Appears in 15 hymnals First Line: Tho' dark and dreary be life's way Refrain First Line: Christ's love is all I need each day Lyrics: 1 Tho' dark and dreary be life's way And burdens hard to bear; There's One whose love will never fail, My heart shall ne'er despair, My hope is staid in Him today And He will safely lead; To that sweet home beyond the sea, Christ's love is all I need. Chorus: Christ's love is all I need each day, I know, I know, Christ's precious love is all I need, He'll lead me safely on life's way, I know, I know Christ's precious, precious love is all I need. 2 Tho' trials press on ev'ry side, And many snares there be; I look in simple faith to Him, Who calmed the stormy sea. He is the Shepherd, kind and true, His sheep He'll ever feed; This cheers me on and makes me strong, Christ's love is all I need. [Chorus] 3 And when I hear the boatman's call, Come cross the chilly tide; I shall not fear to launch my barque, For Christ is at my side. He bore the sting of death for me, Has met my ev'ry need; And so I sing the sweet refrain, Christ's love is all I need. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Tho' dark and dreary be life's way]
