Lyrics
-
1. 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!
-
2. I need thee every hour;
Stay thou nearby.
Temptations lose their pow’r
When thou art nigh.
-
3. I need thee every hour,
In joy or pain.
Come quickly and abide,
Or life is vain.
-
4. I need thee every hour,
Most holy One.
Oh, make me thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son!
