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 Savior; I come to thee.

I need thee every hour; stay thou near by;
Temptations lose their power when thou art nigh

I need thee every hour, in joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide, or life is vain.
