1 I need thee every hour,
most gracious Lord;
no tender voice but thine
can peace afford.
[Refrain:]
I need thee, oh, I need thee,
every hour I need thee;
O bless me now, my Saviour,
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;
and thy rich promises
in me fulfil. [Refrain]
