First Line: I need Thee every hour,

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

I need Thee, oh, I need Thee ;
Every hour I need Thee ;
Oh, bless me now, my Saviour !
I come to Thee.

2 I need Thee every hour,
Stay Thou near by ;
Temptations lose their power
When Thou art nigh.

3 I need Thee every hour,
In joy or pain ;
Come quickly and abide,
Or life is vain.

4 I need Thee every hour ;
Teach me Thy will ;
And Thy rich promises
In me fulfil.

5 I need Thee every hour,
Most Holy One :
Oh, make me Thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son.
