I need thee, ev'ry hour,
Most gracious Lord,
No tender voice like thine
can peace afford.
I need thee, Oh, I need thee;
Ev’ry hour I need thee;
Oh bless me now, my Saviour,
I come to Thee.

I need thee ev'ry hour:
Stay thou nearby;
Temptations lose their pow'r,
When thou art nigh.
I need thee, Oh, I need thee;
Ev’ry hour I need thee;
Oh bless me now, my Saviour,
I come to Thee.

I need thee ev’ry hour,
In joy or pain,
Come quickly and abide,
Or life is vain.
I need thee, Oh, I need thee;
Ev’ry hour I need thee;
Oh bless me now, my Saviour,
I come to Thee.

I need thee ev'ry hour,
Teach me your will
And your rich promises
In me fulfil.
I need thee, Oh, I need thee;
Ev’ry hour I need thee;
Oh bless me now, my Saviour,
I come to Thee.
