I Need Thee, Precious Jesus Lyrics

I need Thee, precious Jesus, For I am very poor;

A stranger and a pilgrim, I have no earthly store.

I need the love of Jesus, To cheer me on my way,

To guide my doubting footsteps, To be my strength and stay.

I need the heart of Jesus, To feel each anxious care;

To tell my ev'ry trial, And all my sorrows share,

I need the Holy Spirit, To teach me what I am

To show me more of Jesus, To point me to the Lamb

I need Thee, precious Jesus, I hope to see Thee soon

Encircled with the rainbow, And seated on thy throne.

There, with Thy blood-bought children, My joy shall ever be,

To sing Thy ceaseless praises, To gaze my Lord, on Thee! Amen.
