Lyrics
I need Thee ev'ry hour, most gracious Lord.
No tender voice like Thine can peace afford.
Refrain
I need Thee, Oh, 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 nearby.
Temptations lose their pow'r when Thou art night.
Refrain
I need Thee ev'ry hour in joy or pain.
Come quickly and abide or life is vain.
Refrain
I need Thee ev'ry hour. Teach me Thy will
And Thy rich promises in me fulfil.
Refrain
I need Thee ev'ry hour, most Holy One.
Oh, make me Thine indeed, Thou blessed Son!
