I Need Thee Every Hour (Christian Hymn) Lyrics
I need Thee every hour
Most gracious Lord
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford
I need Thee, oh 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 nearby
Temptations lose their power
When Thou art nigh
I need Thee, oh I need Thee
Every hour I need Thee
O bless me now my Savior
I come to Thee
I need Thee every hour
In joy or pain
Come quickly and abide
Or life is vain
I need Thee oh I need Thee
Every hour I need Thee
O bless me now my Savior
I come to Thee
I need Thee every hour
Teach me Thy will
And Thy rich promises
In me fulfill
I need Thee oh I need Thee
Every hour I need Thee
O bless me now my Savior
I come to Thee
O bless me now my Savior
I come to Thee
