Do I Not Need Thee?

lyricist: Robert Staples, 1880
Composer: Matthew McPhail

Do I not need Thee

Savior di­vine?

To Thy dear pre­cepts

My heart in­cline.

How much I need Thee

I scarce­ly know;

Dear

pre­cious Sav­ior

Thy love be­stow.

Do I not need Thee

Each hour

each day?

Pity me

Sav­ior

Be Thou my stay;

Do I not need Thee?

What pow­er have I?

No arm to lean on—

Savior

draw nigh.

Do I not need Thee?

Weary and faint

Come I un­to Thee;

Heed my comp­laint.

Yes

I do need Thee;

Thy love is strong;

Grant me pro­tect­ion

All the day long.
