Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal ‎#483

483. 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]
