I need thee ev'ry hour, most gracious Lord; no tender voice like thine can peace afford.
I need thee, oh, I need thee, ev'ry hour I need thee! Oh, bless me now, my Savior, I come to thee.
I need thee ev'ry hour, stay thou nearby; temptations lose their pow'r when thou art nigh.
I need thee ev'ry hour, in joy or pain; come quickly, and abide, or life is vain.
I need thee ev'ry hour, teach me thy will, thy promises so rich in me fulfill.
