1 I need thee every hour,
Lord of all might and power,
Lord of all might and power,
Hear this my cry,
Hear this my cry.
I know no help but thee,
Thou shalt my refuge be,
Oh, come and dwell with me,
Do not deny,
Do not deny.

2 I need thee every hour,
When storms and darkness lower,
When storms and darkness lower,
With me abide,
With me abide.
Jesus, my light appear,
Let not distrust and fear,
But faith and love endear,
When woes betide,
When woes betide.

3 I need thee every hour,
When pain and grief have power,
When pain and grief have power,
I come to thee,
I come to thee.
Oh, make me thine indeed,
On husks no more I’ll feed,
Thou shalt my footsteps lead,
I come to thee,
I come to thee.
