I need Thee every hour,
most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine can peace afford.
I need Thee, oh, I need Thee;
Every hour I need Thee;
Oh, bless me now, my Savior,
I come to Thee.
I need Thee every hour,
stay Thou nearby;
Temptations lose their pow’r when
Thou art nigh.
I need Thee every hour, in joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide, or life is vain
I need Thee every hour; teach me Thy will;
And Thy rich promises in me fulfill.
I need Thee every hour, most Holy One;
Oh, make me Thine indeed, Thou blessed Son.
