I Must Have Jesus with Me

Author: J. L. H. Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: I have heard my Saviour calling Refrain First Line: But I must have Jesus with me Lyrics: 1 I have heard my Saviour calling, Calling me to service true; I am willing, I am ready, Blessed Lord, Thy will to do. Refrain: But I must have Jesus with me, All the way, ev’ry day, I will go with joy and gladness, If my Lord with me will stay; Here am I, Lord, for Thy service, I will give up all for Thee; I am ready, I am willing, Lord, if Thou wilt go with me. 2 If my way be dark and cheerless, And through shadows I must go; Give the sunshine of Thy presence, Ever there Thy will to know. [Refrain] 3 Cleanse my heart from vain ambition, Keep me humble, Lord, for Thee; My desire is for Thy service, And my cry is “Lord, send me.” [Refrain] 4 Lord, to work for Thee is glorious, And Thy smile is wondrous sweet; Take me, use me, fill me, Master, As a sacrifice complete.
