I Need Thee Every Hour

About:
This is a simple, personal prayer. The rhymes are simple, with repetition of the first phrase in every verse, giving the song a meditative feel. It makes a lot of sense to print the poem as iambic pentameter couplets folowed by the couplet refrains of diverging meter. This poem does not ask a lot from God, a paraphrase: "Be near, bless me with your presence, help me with whatever happens."

I Need Thee Every Hour

I Need Thee Every Hour

Annie Sherwood Hawkes 

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.

I need Thee every hour, Stay Thou near by;
Temptations lose their power When Tou art nigh.  
   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, In joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide Or life is vain.  
   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, Teach me Thy will,
And Thy rich promises In me fulfill.  
   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, Most Holy One;
O make me thine indeed, Most blessed Son.
   I need Thee, O I need Thee Every hour I need Thee;
   O bless me now my Saviour, I come to Thee.
