Pearls of Praise ‎#59

59. Do I Not Need Thee?

1 Do I not need thee,
Savior divine?
To thy dear people,
My heart incline.

Refrain:
How much I need thee,
I scarcely know;
Dear, precious Savior,
Thy love bestow.

2 Do I not need thee,
Each hour, each day?
Pity me, Savior,
Be thou my stay. [Refrain]

3 Do I not need thee?
What pow’r have I?
No arm to lean on,
Savior, draw nigh. [Refrain]

4 Do I not need thee?
Weary and faint,
Come I unto thee,
Heed my complaint. [Refrain]

5 Yes, I do need thee,
Thy love is strong;
Give me to praise thee,
In endless song. [Refrain]
