Songs Of Zion – English

I need Thee every hour,

by

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

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

2.I need Thee every hour,
Stay Thou near by;
Temptations lose their power
When Thou art nigh.

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

4.I need Thee every hour,
Teach me Thy will;
And Thy rich promises
In me fulfill.

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

I want, dear Lord, a heart that’s true and clean;

by

1.I want, dear Lord, a heart that’s true and clean;
a sunlit heart, with not a cloud between;
a heart like Thine, a heart divine, a heart as white as snow;
on me, dear Lord, a heart like this bestow.

2.I want, dear Lord, a love that feels for all;
a deep, strong love that answers every call;
a love like Thine, a love divine, a love for high and low;
on me, dear Lord, a love like this bestow.

3.I want, dear Lord, a soul on fire for Thee;
a soul baptised with heavenly energy,
a willing mind, a ready hand, to do whate’er I know,
to spread Thy light wherever I may go.

4.I want, dear Lord, a faith that looks to Thee
to cheer the way when naught but clouds I see;
a faith sublime, a faith divine, a faith that will not fail
to trust in Thee and over sin prevail.

5.I want, dear Lord, a hope steadfast and sure,
a hope that holds to things that will endure;
a hope in heaven, a hope in Thee, a hope that’s bright and clear,
dispelling doubt and conquering every fear.
