First week of teaching: done

After a full week of being Ms. Kang, 10th grade English teacher of room 209, the frazzled looking one at the end of eighth period, my heart sings one thing and one thing only. And that is this hymn. Spirit, sing

I need thee every hour, most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like thine can peace afford.

I need thee, O I need thee;
every hour I need thee;
O bless me now, my Savior, I come to thee.

I need thee every hour; stay thou nearby;
temptations lose their power when thou art nigh. 

I need thee every hour, in joy or pain;
come quickly and abide, or life is vain. 

I need thee every hour; teach me thy will;
and thy rich promises in me fulfill. 

I need thee every hour, most Holy One;
O make me thine indeed, thou blessed Son.
