2. (4)
1 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 Saviour,
I come to thee!
2 I need thee every hour;
Stay thou near by;
Temptations lose their power
When thou art nigh.
I need thee, O I need thee,
Every hour I need thee;
O bless me now, my Saviour,
I come to thee!
3 I need thee every hour,
In joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide,
Or life is vain.
I need thee, O I need thee,
Every hour I need thee;
O bless me now, my Saviour,
I come to thee!
4 I need thee every hour;
Teach me thy will;
And thy rich promises
In me fulfil.
I need thee, O I need thee,
Every hour I need thee;
O bless me now, my Saviour,
I come to thee!
5 I need thee every hour,
Most Holy One;
O make me thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son!
I need thee, O I need thee,
Every hour I need thee;
O bless me now, my Saviour,
I come to thee! Amen.
