I Need Thee Every Hour

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

I need thee,
O I need thee!
Every hour I need thee;
O bless me now, my Savior!
I come to thee.

I need thee every hour;
Stay thou nearby;
Temptations lose their power
When thou art nigh.

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

I need thee every hour;
Teach me thy will;
And thy rich promises
In me fulfill.

I need thee every hour;
Most Holy One;
O make me thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son.
