I NEED THEE

I need thee every hour, 
most gracious Lord
No tender voice like thine
can peace afford.

Chorus
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.
