1 I need Jesus, my need I now confess;
No friend like Him in times of deep distress;
I need Jesus, the need I gladly own;
Tho' some may bear their load alone,
Yet, I need Jesus.

Chorus:
I need Jesus, I need Jesus,
I need Jesus ev'ry day;
Need Him in the sunshine hour,
need Him when the storm-clouds low'r;
Ev'ry day along my way,
Yes, I need Jesus.

2 I need Jesus, I need a friend like Him,
A friend to guide when paths of life are dim;
I need Jesus, when foes my soul assail;
Alone I know I can but fail, —
So I need Jesus. [Chorus]

3 I need Jesus, I need Him to the end;
No one like Him — He is the sinner's Friend;
I need Jesus, no other friend will do;
So constant, kind, so strong and true, —
Yes, I need Jesus. ]Chorus]
