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 Saviour,
I come to thee. A-men.
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]

Teach me thy will;
And thy rich promises
In me fulfill. [Refrain]
5 I need thee every hour,
Most Holy One,
O make me thine indeed,
Thou blessèd Son. A-men. [Refrain]
