I need Thee, Lord, I have not lived to filling The wasted days of empty little wiles; I need Thee, Lord, Thou hast not found me willing, And clouds have spanned that needed but my smiles. I need Thee, Lord, for I have sadly squandered The thousand little precious beats of time; I need Thee, Lord, in ways I have not wandered, Where timid ones might cling to hands of mine. I need Thee, Lord, e'er yet the day is ended, I need Thy grace forever on my way To right the wrongs that might have been amended, The tangent debts that I must yet repay. I need Thee, Lord, I need Thee in my sorrow; 0 bear with me, for I would know the way, That somewhere in the might of Thy Tomorrow, 1 may amend the wrongs of yesterday. Mesa, Arizona Bertha A.
