61. I need Thee, precious Saviour

1 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.

2 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.

3 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.

4 I need Thee, precious Saviour,
And hope to see Thee soon,
Encircled with the rainbow,
And seated 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.
