305. O Jesus, I Need Thee

1 O Jesus, I need Thee; no power but Thine
From sin can deliver a nature like mine;
O gracious Redeemer, my Saviour be Thou,
If ever, O Jesus, if ever, just now!

2 O Jesus, I need Thee; temptation’s dark hour
Is closing around me I feel its dread power;
O gracious Redeemer, my Saviour be Thou,
If ever, O Jesus, if ever, just now!

3 O Jesus, I need Thee; for hard is the road,
And long is the journey, and heavy the load;
O gracious Redeemer, my Saviour be Thou,
If ever, O Jesus, if ever, just now!

4 O Jesus, I need Thee; O hear Thou my Cry!
I need Thee to live, and I need Thee to die;
O gracious Redeemer, my Saviour be Thou,
If ever, O Jesus, if ever, just now!
