Words
I need Thee ev'ry hour,
Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford.
I need Thee, O I need Thee;
Ev'ry hour I need Thee;
O bless me now, my Savior,
I come to Thee!
I need Thee ev'ry hour,
Stay Thou near by;
Temptations lose their pow'r
When Thou art nigh.
I need Thee ev'ry hour,
In joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide,
Or life is vain.
I need Thee ev'ry hour,
Teach me Thy will;
And Thy rich promises
In me fulfill.
I need Thee ev'ry hour,
Most Holy One;
O make me Thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son!
Scripture

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
