I Need Thee Every Hour

by Annie S. Hawks

I need thee ev'ry hour
Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like thine
Can peace afford.

I need thee, O I need thee,
Ev'ry hour I need thee;
O bless me now, my Savior,
I come to thee.

I need thee ev'ry hour;
Stay thou nearby;
Temptations lose their pow'r
When thou art nigh.

I need thee ev'ry hour,
In joy or pain;
Come quickly, and abide,
Or life is vain.

I need thee ev'ry hour;
Teach me thy will,
And thy rich promises
In me fulfill.

I need thee ev'ry hour,
Most Holy One;
O make me thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son.

I need thee, O I need thee,
Ev'ry hour I need thee;
O bless me now, my Savior,
I come to thee.
