12. Great Is My Need

1 Great is my need of Thee,
Father divine,
Longs all my soul to be a child of Thine.
Within Thy arms of grace
Let me now find a place,
Safe in Thy fond embrace,
Thy will be mine.

2 Great is my need of Thee,
Deep as my sin
Thy blood of Calvary makes pure within;
From pierced hands and side
Streams forth the cleansing tide,
In me Thou crucified
Thy work begin.

3 Great is my need of Thee,
Thou know’st it all,
My want and poverty, my faith so small;
her I the world forsake,
This choice I freely make,
Tho’ earth-ties all should break
Thou art my all.

4 Great is my need of Thee,
Thy grace alone
Saveth eternally, Thy pow’r I own,
Thy love the gulf hath spann’d,
Faith takes Thy outstretch’d hand,
Safe to the better land
Lead Thou me on.
