I look to thee in every need,

               
And never look in vain;

                   
I feel thy strong and tender love,

                           
And all is well again;

                                 
The thought of thee is mightier far

                     
Than sin and pain and sorrow are;

                      D9sus         (rpt. intro)    
Than sin and pain and sorrow are,   my Lord.



Discouraged in the work of life,
Disheartened by its load.
Shamed by its failures or its fears,
I sink beside the road;
But let me only think of thee
And then new heart springs up in me;
And then new heart springs up in me, my Lord.



                          
There is an eye that never sleeps 

                       
Beneath the wing of night;

                           
There is an ear that never shuts 

                          
When sink the beams of light.

                            
There is an arm that never tires 

                           
When human strength gives way;

                          
There is a love that never fails 

                    D9sus
When earthly loves decay.

                                 
But there's a power which man can wield 

                     
When mortal aid is vain,

                      
That eye, that arm, that love to reach, 

                      
That listening ear to gain.

                           
That power is prayer which soars on high

                          
Through Jesus to the throne;

                      
And moves the hand which moves the world,

                                      
To bring salvation down;

             
To bring salvation down.


[solo as verse, repeat chorus]

                          
I look to thee in every need.
