I Need Thee Every Hour


The Lord has promised good to me
His Word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
as long as life endures

Oh, what peace we often forfeit
Oh, what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer


This is my Father's world
the birds their carols raise
the morning light, the lily white
declare their maker's praise
This is my Father's world
He shines in all that's fair
in the rustling grass I hear Him pass
He speaks to me everywhere      

Let us exalt His name together forever
I sought the Lord
He heard me and delivered me from my fears
Let us exalt His name together forever
O sing His praises, magnify the Lord     

And now let the weak say I am strong
Let the poor say I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done for us
Give thanks.


Thou art worthy.
