Calvary Songs ‎#159

159. I Need Thee, O My God

1 I need thee, O my God,
Thy all-sustaining power;
I need thy cleansing blood
To save me every hour.

Refrain:
O Saviour! now behold me;
Let thine arms enfold me;
While at the cross I'm kneeling
Oh, come, and bless me now!

2 I need thy Spirit, Lord,
My comfort day by day,
To guide my steps aright
And warn me when I stray. [Refrain]

3 I need the sheltering Rock,
Where, from the noon-tide heat,
My soul may rest awhile
Beneath its calm retreat. [Refrain]

4 I'm waiting at the cross;
My faith takes hold on thee;
In grief, in joy, or pain,
O Lord, abide with me! [Refrain]
