324. I Need Thee Every Hour

1 I need Thee every hour,
Most gracious Lord;
No other voice but 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;
Teach me Thy will,
And Thy rich promises
In me fulfill. [Refrain]

4 I need Thee every hour,
Most Holy One;
O make me Thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son. [Refrain]

Amen.
