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 near by;
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, most Holy One;
O make me thine indeed, thou blessed Son!
(Refrain)
