428. I Need Thee Every Hour

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 nearby;
Temptations lose their pow’r
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]

Amen.
