Laudes Domini ‎#298

298. "I need thee"

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

Refrain:
I need thee, oh, I need thee;
Every hour I need thee;
Oh, 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]

5 I need thee every hour,
Most Holy One;
Oh, make me thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son. [Refrain]
