Representative Text

1 I need Thee, O my Saviour,
Life’s rugged path to cheer;
No evil can befall me,
When Thou, O Lord art near.

Refrain:
Tho’ oft by sore temptation
My heart oppressed may be,
Yet, leaning on Thy promise,
I’ll trust alone in Thee.

2 I need Thee, O my Saviour,
To chide me when I stray,
To keep me ever walking
Within the narrow way. [Refrain]

3 I need Thee, O my Saviour,
Thou precious Friend divine;
No smile so full of sunshine,
No love so great as Thine. [Refrain]
