I need Thee every hour
VERSE 1
I need Thee every hour,
Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford.
I need Thee, oh, I need Thee;
Every hour I need Thee;
Oh, bless me now, my Savior!
I come to Thee.
VERSE 2
I need Thee every hour,
Stay Thou near by;
Temptations lose their power
When Thou art nigh.
VERSE 3
I need Thee every hour,
In joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide,
Or life is vain.
VERSE 4
I need Thee every hour,
Teach me Thy will;
And Thy rich promises
In me fulfill.
VERSE 5
I need Thee every hour,
Most Holy One;
Oh, make me Thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son.
