Return to Eight-Bell Hymns (General)

I Need Thee Every Hour (NEED)

I Need Thee Every Hour is a look at one of the key parts of the Christian life: dependence on God. Each verse starts with “I need Thee”, and looks at a different aspect of that need. The bottom line, of course, is that no matter what life throws at us, we always need Him.

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 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 fulfill.

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