- 1Tho dark and dreary be life's wayAnd burdens hard to bear;There's One whose love will never fail,My heart shall ne'er despair.My hope is staid in Him todayAnd He will safely lead;To that sweet home beyond the sea,Christ's love is all I need.Christ's love is all(Oh, His love precious love's)I need, each day,(all I need, need each day,)I know, I know,(Yes, I know, precious love)Christ's precious love Is all I need,(is all, all I need,)
- 2He'll lead me safely(Oh, He'll lead, yes, He'll lead) on life's way,(safely on, on life's way,)I know, I know(Oh, I)Christ's precious, precious love(know His love) is all I need.(is all I need, I need.)Christ's love is all(Oh, His love precious love's)I need, each day,(all I need, need each day,)I know, I know,(Yes, I know, precious love)Christ's precious love Is all I need,(is all, all I need,)
- 3Tho trials press on ev'ry sideAnd 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.Christ's love is all(Oh, His love precious love's)I need, each day,(all I need, need each day,)I know, I know,(Yes, I know, precious love)Christ's precious love Is all I need,(is all, all I need,)
- 4And when I hear the boatman's call,Come cross the chilly tide;I shall not fear to launch my barque,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.Christ's love is all(Oh, His love precious love's)I need, each day,(all I need, need each day,)I know, I know,(Yes, I know, precious love)Christ's precious love Is all I need,(is all, all I need,)
