I Need Thee every Hour

Most gracious Lord.

No tender voice like thine

Can peace afford.

I need thee, oh, I need thee;

Ev’ry hour I need thee!

Oh, bless me now, my Savior;

I come to thee!

I need thee ev’ry hour;

Stay thou nearby.

Temptations lose their pow’r

When thou art nigh. ||I need||

I need thee ev’ry hour,

In joy or pain.

Come quickly and abide,

Or life is vain. ||I need||

I need thee ev’ry hour,

Most holy One.

Oh, make me thine indeed,

Thou blessed Son! ||I need||
