I need thee, precious Jesus

1

I need thee, precious Jesus,For I am very poor;A stranger and a pilgrim,I have no earthly store.

2

I need the love of JesusTo cheer me on my way,To guide my doubting footsteps,To be my strength and stay.

3

I need the heart of JesusTo feel each anxious care,To tell my every trial,And all my sorrows share.

4

I need the Holy SpiritTo teach me what I am,To show me more of Jesus,To point me to the Lamb.

5

I need thee, precious Jesus,I hope to see thee soon,Encircled with the rainbow,And seated on thy throne.

6

There, with thy blood-bought children,My joy shall ever beTo sing thy praises, Jesus,To gaze, my Lord, on thee!
