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 com e to thee.

2 I need thee every hour,
Stay thou near by;
Temptations lose their power
When thou art nigh.

3 I need thee every hour,
In joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide,
Or life is vain.

4 I need thee every hour,
Teach me thy will,
And thy rich promises
In me fulfil.
