401. I need Thee every hour

1 I need Thee every hour,
Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford.

Refrain:
I need Thee; oh! I need Thee;
Every 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,
Teach me Thy will;
And Thy rich promises
In me fulfil. [Refrain]

4 I need Thee every hour,
Most Holy One;
Oh, make me Thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son. [Refrain]

Amen.
