HYMN: I Need Thee every hour | Mo nfe O n’gbagbogbo

ENGLISH LYRICS:  I Need Thee every hour

Leave me not, neither forsake me O God of my salvation. Ps. 27:9
1.  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 Saviour;
    I come to Thee.

2. I need Thee every hour;
    Stay Thou near by;
    Temptations lose their pow'r
    When Thou art nigh.

3. I need Thee every hour,
    In joy or pain;
    Come quickly and abide,
    Or life is vain.

4. I need Thee every hour;
    Teach me Thy will,
    And Thy rich promises
    In me fulfil.

5. I need Thee every hour,
    Most Holy One;
    O make me Thine indeed,
    Thou blessed Son.

Amen.
