Feel You Not Your Need of Jesus?

Representative Text

1 Feel you not your need of Jesus,
When your earthly hopes grow dim?
Long you not for hope unfading,
Feel you not your need of Him?

Refrain:
Feel you not your need of Jesus,
Who can take away your sin,
Who can give you peace eternal,
Feel you not your need of Him?

2 In this world where all is changing,
Do you not desire a Friend?
One whose love will never fail you,
Who will keep you to the end? [Refrain]

3 When the tempter would entice you
In the ways of sin to go,
Feel you not your need of Jesus,—
Grace to give, to answer “No”? [Refrain]

4 He is longing to receive you,
And His Spirit now doth plead;
He is here to heal and pardon
All who feel their soul’s deep need. [Refrain]
