The Christian Sunday School Hymnal ‎#33

33. I Need Thee

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

Refrain:
I need thee, O I need thee,
Every hour I need thee;
O bless me now, my Savior,
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;
O make me thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son! [Refrain]
