Do I not need Thee,
Savior di­vine?
To Thy dear pre­cepts
My heart in­cline.

Refrain

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;

Refrain

Do I not need Thee?
What pow­er have I?
No arm to lean on—
Savior, draw nigh.

Refrain

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.
