Hymn 377

I NEED Thee every hour,

6 4. 6 4, with refrain

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 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 blessèd Son.

Annie Sherwood Hawks, 1835-1918
