Representative Text

1 Every day I need Thee more and more,
Waves of care sweep o’er my soul,
Thou canst still the storm and peace restore,
Keep my life in Thy control.

Refrain:
Every day I need Thee more and more,
For my heart is tempted o’er and o’er,
Let me feel Thy mighty arm,
Safely keep me from all harm,
Every day I need Thee more and more.

2 Every day I need Thee more and more,
Make my blinded eyes to see,
Visions of the Christ whom I adore,
Hear my cry, O Lord, help me. [Refrain]

3 Every day I need Thee more and more,
For the helpless, sick and lone;
Piteously plead and help implore,
Use me Lord to lead them home. [Refrain]

4 Every day I need Thee more and more,
When earth’s shadows all are past,
Then I’ll dwell with him forevermore,
Fearing neither storm nor blast. [Refrain]
