“98: I Need Thee Every Hour,” Hymns of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, no. 98
Fervently
1. I need thee ev’ry hour,
Most gracious Lord.
No tender voice like thine
Can peace afford.
[Chorus]
I need thee, oh, I need thee;
Ev’ry hour I need thee!
Oh, bless me now, my Savior;
I come to thee!
2. I need thee ev’ry hour;
Stay thou nearby.
Temptations lose their pow’r
When thou art nigh.
3. I need thee ev’ry hour,
In joy or pain.
Come quickly and abide,
Or life is vain.
4. I need thee ev’ry hour,
Most holy One.
Oh, make me thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son!
Text: Annie S. Hawks, 1835–1918
