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 Saviour!
I come to Thee!
I need Thee every hour, stay Thou near by;
temptations lose their power when Thou art nigh.
I need Thee every hour, in joy or pain;
come quickly and abide, or life is vain.
I need Thee every hour, teach me Thy will;
and Thy rich promises in me fulfil.
I need Thee every hour, most Holy One:
oh, keep me Thine indeed, Thou blessed Son!
