1 Ev’ry hour I need Thy blessing,
Ev’ry moment need Thy care,
Lord, to Thee I come confessing,
All the sins that me ensnare.
Bless the thoughts that come each moment,
Make them true and pure and fair,
Like to Thine our great atonement,
Beautiful beyond compare.

Refrain:
Come, O come Thou loving Saviour,
Take me in Thy tender care,
Watch and guide me ev’ry moment,
And my soul for Thee prepare.

2 Ev’ry hour I need Thy blessing,
Daily need Thy wondrous love,
Love so tender, so protecting,
Coming from Thy throne above.
For Thy loving care and blessing,
Make me thankful day by day,
By my walk and daily living,
Praising Christ the Living Way. [Refrain]

3 Ev’ry hour I need Thy blessing,
Ev’ry moment need Thy care,
Until Thou my soul possessing,
Shall reflect Thine image there.
Then to Christ the King of Glory,
He who bought me with great price,
I shall sing the old, old story,
Christ my Lord, my sacrifice. [Refrain]
