340. 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 near by;
Temptations lose their pow'r
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,
Most Holy One;
O make me Thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son! (Refrain)
