"I NEED THEE, PRECIOUS JESUS", by                    
Last Line: "to gaze, my lord, on thee!"
Subject(s): Jesus Christ


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.

I need Thee, precious 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 want,
And all my sorrows share.

I need Thee, precious Jesus!
I need Thee day by day--
To fill me with Thy fullness,
To lead me on my way;
I need Thy 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!
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 Thy praises, Jesus!
To gaze, my Lord, on Thee!
