16000. Do I Not Need Thee?

1 Do I not need Thee, Savior divine?
To Thy dear precepts my heart incline.

Refrain:
How much I need Thee I scarcely know;
Dear, precious Savior, Thy love bestow.

2 Do I not need Thee, each hour, each day?
Pity me, Savior, be Thou my stay; [Refrain]

3 Do I not need Thee? What power have I?
No arm to lean on— Savior, draw nigh. [Refrain]

4 Do I not need Thee? Weary and faint,
Come I unto Thee; heed my complaint.

Refrain:
Yes, I do need Thee; Thy love is strong;
Grant me protection all the day long.
