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 Saviour, --
I come to Thee.
2 I need Thee every hour;
Stay Thou nearby;
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)
5 I need Thee every hour,
Most Holy One;
O make me Thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son. (Refrain)
