I Need Thee Every Hour

“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.

I need thee every hour,
stay thou near by;
temptations lose their power
when thou art nigh. [Refrain]

I need thee every hour,
in joy or pain;
come quickly, and abide,
or life is vain. [Refrain]

I need thee every hour;
teach me thy will,
and thy rich promises
in me fulfill. [Refrain]”

-Annie Hawks 1836-1918 and Robert Lowery 1826-1899  American Hymnists
