I Need Thee

By Samuel J. Wright

SAMUEL J. WRIGHT

I need thee, Father. Each hour I want my hand in thine; The way is dark; I can not see The path that thou hast left for me, Except thou leadest me.

I need thee, Father. Each day I need thy hand to guide Me through the furnace and the fire; For there I can not walk alone. Thou art my heart’s desire.

I need thee, Father. Through the night I e’en would dream of thee; For then the hours would span, it seems, The loneliness of sleep, if thou wouldst be The golden heart of all my dreams.

I need thee, Saviour. Every year I need thy love and care. Each tender thought of thine will be The rarest gem that I could ask; for thou Art God’s best gift to me.

I need thee, Father. All through life I need thy tender care. Be thou my comforter and friend; For thou art all the meaning of the day, And wilt be till the end.
