Jesus, engrave it on my heart

1

Jesus, engrave it on my heartThat thou the one thing needful art;I could from all things parted be,But never, never, Lord, from thee.

2

Needful is thy most precious blood,To reconcile my soul to God;Needful is thy indulgent care,Needful thy all-prevailing prayer.

3

Needful thy presence, dearest Lord,True peace and comfort to afford;Needful thy promise, to impartFresh life and vigor to my heart.

4

Needful art thou, my Guide, my Stay,Through all life's dark and weary way;Nor will at last less needful beTo bring me home to heaven and thee.
