462. I Need Thee Every Hour

1 I need Thee ev'ry hour,
Most gracious Lord,
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford.

Refrain:
I need Thee, O I need Thee;
Ev'ry 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. [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 blessèd Son. [Refrain]

Amen.
