1. I need Thee ev- 'ry hour, Most gra- cious_ Lord; No ten- der voice like Thine Can peace_ af- ford. I need Thee, O I need Thee; Ev- 'ry hour I need Thee; O bless me now, my Sav- ior, I come to Thee!

2. I need Thee ev- 'ry hour, Stay Thou_ near_ by; Temp- ta- tions lose their pow'r When Thou_ art_ nigh.

3. I need Thee ev- 'ry hour, In joy _ or _ pain; Come quick- ly and a- bide, Or life_ is_ vain.

4. I need Thee ev- 'ry hour, Teach me _ Thy _ will; And Thy rich pro- mis- es In me _ ful- fill.

5. I need Thee ev- 'ry hour, Most Ho- - ly _ One; O make me Thine in- deed, Thou bless- ed _ Son!
