1. I need thee ev’ry hour,
Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like thine
Can peace afford.
I need thee; O I need thee;
Ev’ry hour I need thee!
O bless me now, my Savior,
I come to thee.
2. I need thee ev’ry hour,
Stay thou near by;
Temptations lose their pow’r,
When thou art nigh.
I need thee; O I need thee;
Ev’ry hour I need thee!
O bless me now, my Savior,
I come to thee.
3. I need thee ev’ry hour,
In joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide,
Or life is vain.
I need thee; O I need thee;
Ev’ry hour I need thee!
O bless me now, my Savior,
I come to thee.
4. I need thee ev’ry hour,
Most holy One;
O make me thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son!
I need thee; O I need thee;
Ev’ry hour I need thee!
O bless me now, my Savior,
I come to thee.
