1. I need thee every hour, Most gracious Lord. No tender voice like thine Can peace afford.

I need thee, oh, I need thee; Every hour I need thee! Oh, bless me now, my Savior; I come to thee!

2. I need thee every hour; Stay thou nearby. Temptations lose their pow’r When thou art nigh.

I need thee, oh, I need thee; Every hour I need thee! Oh, 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, oh, I need thee; Every hour I need thee! Oh, bless me now, my Savior; I come to thee!

4. I need thee every hour, Most holy One. Oh, make me thine indeed, Thou blessed Son!

I need thee, oh, I need thee; Every hour I need thee! Oh, bless me now, my Savior; I come to thee!
