Author: Frederick Whitefield Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #462 (1886) Lyrics: 1 I need thee, precious Jesus,
For I am very poor;
A stranger and a pilgrim,
I have no earthly store.
2 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 the heart of Jesus
To feel each anxious care,
To tell my every trial,
And all my sorrows share.
4 I need the Holy Spirit
To teach me what I am,
To show me more of Jesus,
To point me to the Lamb.
5 I need thee, precious Jesus,
I hope to see thee soon,
Encircled with the rainbow,
And seated on thy throne.
6 There, with thy blood-bought children,
My joy shall ever be
To sing thy praises, Jesus,
To gaze, my Lord, on thee! Topics: The Sinner Repentance and Acceptance Tune Title: MARIETTA
I need thee, precious Jesus
