I Need Thee Every Hour

I need Thee every hour, Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine can peace afford.

I need Thee every hour, Stay Thou nearby;
Temptations lose their power when Thou art nigh.

I need Thee every hour, In joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide, or life is vain.

I need Thee every hour, Teach me Thy will;
Thy promises so rich, in me fulfill.

I need Thee every hour,  Most Holy One;
O make me Thine indeed, Thou blessed Son.

I need Thee, O I need Thee;
Every hour I need Thee!
O bless me now, my Savior, I come to Thee.

When Morning Comes

Trials dark on every hand, and we cannot understand
All the ways that God will lead us to that blessed promised land;
But He'll guide us with His eye, and we'll follow till we die,
We will understand it better by and by.

Oft our cherished plans have failed, disappointments have prevailed,
And we've wandered in the darkness, heavy hearted and alone;
Bet we're trusting in the Lord, and according to His Word,
We will understand it better by and by.

Temptations, hidden snares, often take us unawares,
And our hearts are made to bleed for each thoughtless word or deed;
And we wonder why the test, when we try to do our best, 
But will understand it better by and by.

Words: Charles Tindley 1905

'Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus

'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to take Him at His word;
Just to rest upon His promise,
Just to know, "Thus saith the Lord."

Jesus, Jesus, How I trust Him!
How I've proved Him o'er and o'er!
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
O for grace to trust Him more!

O how sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to trust His cleansing blood;
Just in simple faith to plunge me
'Neath the healing, cleansing flood!

Yes, 'tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just from sin and self to cease;
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest, and joy and peace.

I'm so glad I learned to trust Him,
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;
And I know that He is with me,
Will be with me to the end.


Jesus, Jesus, How I trust Him!
How I've proved Him o'er and o'er!
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
O for grace to trust Him more!
