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.
