Jesus Needs Me
Author: James Rowe Hymnal: Inspiring Songs No. 1 #5 (1906) First Line: I know that Jesus needs me Refrain First Line: I know that Jesus needs me Lyrics: 1 I know that Jesus needs me,
For often here and there,
I see a lonely brother
Bent ‘neath a load of care;
And many pass me daily
Who seem to dread the fray;
I know that Jesus needs me,
And needs me ev’ry day.
Chorus:
I know that Jesus needs me,
So I’ll begin today;
To work within His vineyard
And do whate’er I may.
2 I know that Jesus needs me,
For many pass me by
Whose hearts are full of sorrow,
Whose souls for comfort sigh;
And there is none to help them
Along their cheerless way;
I know that Jesus needs me,
And needs me ev’ry day. [Chorus]
3 I know that Jesus needs me,
For often some I see
Whom sin has sadly blighted
And filled with misery,
They sigh in vain for friendship,
They hunger for a smile;
I know that Jesus needs me,
And need me all the while. [Chorus]

=============
For the first seventeen years of his life Charles Hutchinson Gabriel (b. Wilton, IA, 1856; d. Los Angeles, CA, 1932) lived on an Iowa farm, where friends and neighbors often gathered to sing. Gabriel accompanied them on the family reed organ he had taught himself to play. At the age of sixteen he began teaching singing in schools (following in his father's footsteps) and soon was acclaimed as a fine teacher and composer. He moved to California in 1887 and served as Sunday school music director at the Grace Methodist Church in San Francisco. After moving to Chicago in 1892, Gabriel edited numerous collections of anthems, cantatas, and a large number of songbooks for the Homer Rodeheaver, Hope, and E. O. Excell publishing companies. He composed hundreds of tunes and texts, at times using pseudonyms such as Charlotte G. Homer. The total number of his compositions is estimated at about seven thousand. Gabriel's gospel songs became widely circulated through the Billy Sunday-Homer Rodeheaver urban crusades.
