Representative Text

1 Lord, come to us, we need Thee so!
The thorns along our pathway grow;
Our burden’s heavy—we are weak,
Thy love we crave, Thy strength we seek.

Refrain:
Lord, come to us in mighty pow’r,
We need Thee so, we need Thee so!
Reveal Thyself this very hour,
We need Thee so, we need Thee so!

2 Lord, come to us in tender love,
And draw our hearts to things above;
Thy heav’nly guidance we may know,
We need Thee so, we need Thee so! [Refrain]

3 Come not to us in anger sore!
Lord, ’tis Thy mercy we implore!
Thro’ all the stormy winds that blow,
We need Thee so, we need Thee so! [Refrain]

4 Abide with us—we need Thy grace,
We need the light of Thy dear face;
Apart from Thee is pain and woe,
O blessed Lord, we need Thee so! [Refrain]
