I Need Thee, Precious Jesus

  1. 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, 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.
  3. I need thee, precious Jesus,
    and 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 my Jesus’ praises,
    to gaze, O Lord, on thee.
