 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 nearby;
    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 in vain.

    Refrain

 4  I need Thee every hour; teach me Thy will;
    And Thy rich promises in me fulfill.

    Refrain

 5  I need Thee every hour, most Holy One;
    O make me Thine indeed, Thou blessed Son.

    Refrain
