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;
Thy promises so rich
in me fulfill. [Refrain]

5 I need Thee every hour,
most Holy One;
O make me Thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son. [Refrain]
