I Need Thee Precious Jesus Lyrics

1. I need Thee, precious Jesus,

I need a friend like Thee.

2. I need Thy heart, sweet Jesus,

to still each anxious care,

I long to tell my every want.

And all my sorrows share.

3. I need thee, sweet Jesus,

In thy Sacrament of love,

To nourish this poor soul of mine,

With the treasures of thy love.

4. I need thy blood, sweet Jesus

to wash each sinful stain,

To cleanse this sinful soul of mine,

And make it pure again.

5. I need thy wounds, sweet Jesus,

To fly from perils near,

To shelter in these hallowed clefts,

From every doubt and fear

6. I will need thee, sweetest Jesus,

When death’s dread hour draws nigh,

To hide me in thy Sacred Heart,

till wafted safe on high.
