I need thee - Music: Alastair Taylor (SSA visual SATB Audio)

Annie Sherwood Hawks was encouraged to write songs in the 19th century by her pastor, gospel songwriter Robert Lowry (1826-1899). One song which they wrote together was "I need thee", which has been set to music by Scottish composer Alistair Taylor. Long vocal lines and rich harmonies are supported by a lilting piano accompaniment. The four verses are sung to the same music, the last one leading into a soft, reflective coda with 4-part harmony for the chorus.
