Lyrics:
Traditional lyrics
I need thee every hour,
Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like thine
Can peace afford.
Chorus:
I need thee, O I need thee,
Every hour I need thee.
O bless me now, my Saviour;
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.
I need thee every hour;
Teach me thy will;
And thy rich promises
In me fulfil.
I need thee every hour,
Most Holy One;
O make me thine indeed,
Thou Blessed Son!
Modernized lyrics
I need You every hour,
Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Yours
Can peace afford.
Chorus:
I need You, O I need You,
Every hour I need You.
O bless me now, my Saviour;
I come to You.
I need You every hour;
Stay Lord near by;
Temptations lose their power
When You are nigh.
I need You every hour,
In joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide,
Or life is vain.
I need You every hour;
Teach me Your will;
And Your rich promises
On me fulfil.
I need You every hour,
Most Holy One;
O make me Yours indeed,
O Blessed Son!
