I need you every hour, most gracious Lord,
No tender voice like thine can peace afford,
I need you, oh, I need you every hour.
I need you every hour, in joy or pain,
Come quickly and abide or life is vain,
I need you, oh, I need you every hour.
Lord Jesus Christ, my life, my light,
My strength by day, by night.
I need you, I need you,
I need you, I need you,
I need you, I need you every hour.
I need you every hour; teach me your will,
And all your promises in me fulfil,
I need you, oh, I need you every hour.
Lord Jesus Christ, my life, my light,
My strength by day, by night.
I need you, I need you,
I need you, I need you,
I need you, I need you every hour.
Far off, I see my fatherland where, through your blood, I hope to stand,
My soul alone still cries.
When my spirit flies away, yeah,
When my spirit flies,
When my spirit flies away, you'll be my stay.
When my spirit flies away, you'll be my stay.
I need you every hour, most gracious Lord,
No tender voice like thine can peace afford,
I need you, oh, I need you every hour.
Lord Jesus Christ, my life, my light,
My strength by day, by night.
I need you, I need you,
I need you, I need you,
I need you, I need you every hour,
I need you, I need you,
I need you, I need you,
I need you, I need you every hour.
