I need Thee ev’ry hour,
Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford.
I need Thee, O I need Thee,
Ev’ry hour I need Thee,
O bless me now, my Saviour,
I come to Thee.
I need Thee ev’ry hour;
Stay Thou near by;
Temptations lose their pow’r
When Thou art nigh.
I need Thee ev’ry hour,
In joy or in pain;
Come quickly and abide,
Or life is vain.
