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 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,
most Holy One;
O make me thine indeed,
thou blessed Son! (Refrain)
