1 I need thee ev’ry hour, Most gracious Lord; No tender voice like thine Can peace afford.
Refrain: I need thee, O I need thee, Ev’ry hour I need thee; O bless me now, my savior, I come to thee.
2 I need thee ev’ry hour, Stay thou near by; Temptations lose their power When thou art nigh. [Refrain]
3 I need thee ev’ry hour, In joy or pain; Come quickly and abide, Or life is vain. [Refrain]
4 I need thee ev’ry hour, Teach me thy will, And thy rich promises In me fulfill. [Refrain]
