  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 Saviour,
    ⁠I come to thee.
  2. I need thee every hour, Stay thou near by;
    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 vain.
    Refrain
  4. I need thee every hour, Teach me thy will;
    And thy rich promises, In me fulfill.
    Refrain
    Amen.
