Lyrics: Annie S. Hawks, 1835-1918
Music: Robert Lowry, 1826-1899

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 nearby;
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 fulfill.

I need Thee every hour, most Holy One;
O make me Thine indeed, Thou blessèd Son!
