740. I Need Thee Ev'ry Hour

1 I need thee ev'ry hour,
most gracious Lord;
no other voice but 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 pow'r
when thou art nigh. [Refrain]

3 I need thee ev'ry hour;
teach me thy will,
and thy rich promises
in me fulfill. [Refrain]

4 I need thee ev'ry hour,
most Holy One;
O make me thine indeed,
thou blessed Son. [Refrain]
