Verse 1

I need thee every hour, most gracious Lord;
no tender voice like thine can peace afford.

Chorus

I need thee, O I need thee — every hour I need thee!
O bless me now, my Savior: I come to thee!

Verse 2

I need Thee ev'ry hour,
Stay Thou
near by; Temptations lose their pow'r
When Thou
art nigh. I need Thee, O I need Thee;
Ev'ry hour I need Thee; O bless
me now, my Savior, I come
to Thee!

Verse 3

I need Thee ev'ry hour,
In joy

Or life
is vain. I need Thee, O I need Thee;
Ev'ry hour I need Thee; O bless
me now, my Savior, I come
to Thee!

Verse 4

I need Thee ev'ry hour,
Teach me
Thy will; And Thy rich promises
In me
fulfill. I need Thee, O I need Thee;
Ev'ry hour I need Thee; O bless
me now, my Savior, I come
to Thee!

Verse 5

I need Thee ev'ry hour,
Most Holy
One; O make me Thine indeed,
Thou blessed
Son! I need Thee, O I need Thee;
Ev'ry hour I need Thee; O bless
me now, my Savior, I come
to Thee!
