African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal ‎#327

327. I Need Thee Every Hour

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

Refrain:
I need Thee, O I need Thee,
Every hour I need Thee;
O bless me now, my Savior,
I come to Thee!

2 I need Thee every hour,
Stay Thou nearby;
Temptations lose their power
When Thou art nigh. [Refrain]

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

4 I need Thee every hour;
Teach me Thy will;
And Thy rich promises
In me fulfill. [Refrain]
