I Need Thee Every Hour

I need Thee ev­ery hour

Most gra­cious Lord;

No ten­der voice like Thine

Can peace af­ford.

I need Thee

O I need Thee;

Every hour I need Thee;

O bless me now

my Sav­ior

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 bless­èd Son.
