I Need Thee Every Hour

1 I need Thee every hour,  
Most gracious Lord;  
No tender voice like Thine  
Can peace afford.  

Refrain:  
I need Thee, O I need Thee;  
Every hour I need Thee!  
O bless me now, my Savior,  
I come to Thee.  

2 I need Thee every hour,  
Stay Thou nearby;  
Temptations lose their pow’r  
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,  
Most Holy One;  
O make me Thine indeed,  
Thou blessed Son! [Refrain]
