I Need Thee, Precious Saviour

I need Thee, precious Saviour, Oh, Thou art all to me; Before the throne for ever, I stand complete in Thee. Though satan loud accuses, Yet I can ever see, The blood of Christ most precious, The sinner's perfect plea.

I need Thee, precious Saviour, I need a friend like Thee: A friend to soothe and comfort, A friend to care for me; I need Thy heart, Lord Jesus, To feel each anxious care; To bear my every burden, And all my sorrow share.

I need Thee, precious Saviour, I need Thee day by day, To fill me with Thy fulness, To lead me on my way: I need Thy Holy Spirit To teach me what I am To show me more of Jesus, To point me to the Lamb.

I need Thee, precious Saviour, And hope to see Thee soon, Encircled with the rainbow, And seatled on Thy throne; There, with Thy blood-bought people, My joy shall ever be, To sing Thy praise, Lord Jesus, And ever gaze on Thee.
