I Need Thee Every Hour

1I need thee every hour,
Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like thine
Can peace afford.
I need thee, O I need thee;
Every hour I need thee;
O bless me now, my Savior,
I come to thee.

2I need thee every hour,
Stay thou nearby;
Temptations lose their power
When thou art nigh.
I need thee, O I need thee;
Every hour I need thee;
O bless me now, my Savior,
I come to thee.

3I need thee every hour,
In joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide,
Or life is vain.
I need thee, O I need thee;
Every hour I need thee;
O bless me now, my Savior,
I come to thee.

4I need thee every hour,
Most Holy One;
O make me thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son.
I need thee, O I need thee;
Every hour I need thee;
O bless me now, my Savior,
I come to thee.
