Trinity Hymnal ‎#710

710. 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 near by;
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 fulfil. [Refrain]

5 I need thee ev'ry hour,
Most Holy One;
O make me thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son. [Refrain]

Amen.
