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 near by;
temptations lose their power
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]
