Text: | I need Thee, precious Jesus! |
Author: | F. Whitfield, 1829-1904 |
Tune: | LLANGLOFFAN |
1 I need Thee, precious Jesus!
For I am full of sin;
My soul is dark and guilty,
My heart is dead within:
I need the cleansing fountain,
Where I can always flee
The blood of Christ most precious,
The sinner's perfect plea.
2 I need Thee, blessed Jesus!
For I am very poor;
A stranger and a pilgrim,
I have no earthly store:
I need the love of Jesus
To cheer my on my way,
To guide my doubting footsteps,
To be my strength and stay.
3 I need Thee, blessed Jesus!
I need a friend like Thee;
A friend to soothe and sympathize,
A friend to care for me:
I need the heart of Jesus
To feel each anxious care,
To tell my every trouble,
And all my sorrows share.
