1. I need thee every hour, Most gracious Lord; No tender voice like thine Can peace afford.
I need thee; O I need thee; Every hour I need thee! I 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.
I need thee; O I need thee; Every hour I need thee! I bless me now, my Savior; I come to thee!
3. I need thee every hour, In joy or pain; Come quickly and abide, Or life is vain.
I need thee; O I need thee; Every hour I need thee! I bless me now, my Savior; I come to thee!
4. I need thee every hour, Most holy One; O make me thine indeed, Thou blessed Son!
I need thee; O I need thee; Every hour I need thee! I bless me now, my Savior; I come to thee!
