I need Thee every hour,
Most gracious Lord.
No tender voice like thine,
Can peace afford.

Chorus:
I need Thee, oh I need Thee
Every hour I need Thee!
Oh, bless me now, my Savior,
I come to Thee!

I need Thee every hour,
Stay thou nearby.
Temptations lose their power
When thou are nigh.

I need Thee every hour,
In joy or pain.
Come quickly and abide,
Or life is vain.

I need Thee every hour,
Most holy One.
Oh, make me thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son
