1. I need Thee ev'ry hour,
most gracious Lord;
no tender voice like Thine
can peace afford.
Refrain:
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 nearby;
temptations lose their pow'r
when Thou art nigh.
3. I need Thee ev'ry hour,
in joy or pain;
come quickly and abide,
or life is vain.
4. I need Thee ev'ry hour,
teach me Thy will;
and Thy rich promises
in me fulfill.
5. I need Thee ev'ry hour,
most Holy One;
O make me Thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son.
