1 I need Thee every hour,
Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford.
[Refrain]
I need Thee, O I need Thee;
Every hour I need Thee!
O bless me now, my Savior,
I come to Thee.
2 I need Thee every hour,
Stay Thou nearby;
Temptations lose their pow’r
When Thou art nigh. [Refrain]
3 I need Thee every hour,
In joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide,
Or life is vain. [Refrain]
4 I need Thee every hour,
Teach me Thy will;
And Thy rich promises
In me fulfill. [Refrain]
5 I need Thee every hour,
Most Holy One;
O make me Thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son! [Refrain]
