1 I’ll always need Jesus wherever I go,
His love is the light of my way;
Tho’ others forsake me his goodness I know,
His rod and his staff are my stay.

Refrain:
I need him, oh, I need him!
I need him to comfort and cheer!
I need him, I need him, my Savior so dear,
I’ll always, always need Jesus!

2 I’ll always need Jesus, no tongue can declare
The worth of this wonderful Friend;
I lean on his promise, secure from all care,
His blessings my footsteps attend. [Refrain]

3 I’ll always need Jesus, my Savior and Guide;
Some day by his grace I shall stand
In mansions of glory, beyond the dark tide,
With him in Immanuel’s land. [Refrain]
