Great Is My Need

Author: Mrs. C. H. M. Hymnal: Inspiring Gospel Solos and Duets No. 1 #12 (1943) First Line: Great is my need of Thee Lyrics: 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.
