520. 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]
