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.

I'd soar and touch the heavenly strings, And vie with Gabriel while he sings In notes almost divine. 2 I'd sing the precious blood He spilt, My ransom from the dreadful guilt Of sin and wrath divine; I'd sing His glorious righteousness, And magnify the wondrous grace Which made salvation mine. 3 I'd sing the characters He bears, And all the forms of love He wears, Exalted on His throne; In loftiest songs of sweetest praise, I would to everlasting days Make all His glories known. 4 Soon the delightful day will come When my blest Lord will bring me home, And I shall see His face; Then with my Saviour, Brother, Friend, A blest eternity I'll spend, Triumphant in His grace.

Born to redeem, and strong to save," Then ask the monster, "Where's thy sting?" And, "Where's thy victory, boasting grave?" Used With Tune: FEDERAL STREET
