128. Christ's Love Is All I Need

1 Tho' dark and dreary be life's way,
And burdens hard to bear,
There's One whose love will never fail,
My heart shall ne'er despair;
My hope is staid in Him today,
And He will safely lead,
To that sweet home beyond the sea,
Christ's love is all I need.

Refrain:
Christ's love is all I need each day,
I know, I know Christ's precious love is all I need;
He'll lead me safely on life's way,
I know, I know Christ's precious, precious love is all I need.

2 Tho' trials press on ev'ry side,
And many snares there be,
I look in simple faith to Him,
Who calmed the stormy sea;
He is the Shepherd, kind and true,
His sheep He'll ever feed,
This cheers me on and makes me strong,
Christ's love is all I need. [Refrain]

3 And when I hear the boatman's call,
Come cross the chilly tide,
I shall not fear to launch my bark,
For Christ is at my side;
He bore the sting of death for me,
Has met my ev'ry need,
And so I sing the sweet refrain,
Christ's love is all I need. [Refrain]
