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

Chorus:
I need thee, O I need thee,
Every hour I need thee.
O bless me now, my Saviour;
I come to thee.

I need thee every hour;
Stay thou nearby;
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 fulfill.

I need thee every hour,
Most Holy One;
O make me thine indeed,
Thou Blessed Son!
