- I need thee every hour, Most Gracious Lord;
No tender voice like thine can peace afford.
Refrain
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.
Refrain - I need thee every hour, In joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide, Or life is vain.
Refrain - I need thee every hour, Teach me thy will;
And thy rich promises, In me fulfill.
Refrain
Amen.

- Jesus, lover of my soul,
Let me to thy bosom fly,
While the nearer waters roll,
While the tempest still is high:
Hide me, O my Saviour, hide,
Till the storm of life be past;
Safe into the haven guide,
O receive my soul at last. - Other refuge have I none;
Hangs my helpless soul on thee;
Leave, ah, leave me not alone!
Still support and comfort me:
All my trust on thee is stayed,
All my help from thee I bring;
Cover my defenceless head
With the shadow of thy wing. - Plenteous grace with thee is found,
Grace to cover all my sin;
Let the healing streams abound,
Make and keep me pure within.
Thou of life the fountain art;
Freely let me take of thee,
Spring thou up within my heart,
Rise to all eternity. A-men.
