I need Thee every hour, Most gracious Lord; No tender voice like Thine Can peace afford. |
| I need Thee, oh, I need Thee; Every hour I need Thee; Oh, bless me now, my Savior! I come to Thee. |

Surely every hour we need Him. From hour to hour we do not know what situations will confront us. We may say hallelujah or amen in the meeting, but when we get home, our joy may vanish, and instead of hallelujah and amen there will be silence and a long face. A problem has arisen. Or we may get chilled and catch cold. Whatever the problem, Christ is there taking care of our case. He bears us when we have a long face or are ill. His interceding never ceases. His ability to take care of us is unlimited because He is the almighty God. His priesthood is an interceding ministry in the heavens, in the Holy of Holies, before God for us.

I need Him more than ever now.
Lagos, Nigeria
One of my favorite bedtime hymns. When everyone has gone to bed and I want to be alone with God, this is one of the hymns to tell Him am around and want Him more....

I need Thee every second, minute and hour oh Lord. Show Yourself mighty in our lives in Jesus Name Amen. Teach us Thy rich promises and in us fulfil them all in Jesus Name. Temptations will continue to loose their power when You are with us. Abide with us oh Lord forever. Thanks for uploading this song and God bless you all. Shalom!!!

My most favorite.

This hymn came to me one troubled morning as I ran along the beach, pleading with God to help me. I rest in His promises for me and will look to Him for strength & courage.

Sang this song in our church service this Sunday. I couldn't sing it, I was crying to much. Such a powerful Hymn. Touches my heart every time. Oh I do need Him every second of every day.

I've always believed that the real blessing is when God's presence is in a life. I need Thee Lord God.
Onicha, Ebonyi, Nigeria
The song is very respiratory, yes indeed we must recognize God in all that we do just as the song implies that both in joy and in difficulty we should put all our trust in Him cos we cannot do anything without Him. May His name be blessed forever and ever. Amen.
Dutse, Jigawa State, Nigeria
The song is a touching one, loves to sing and meditate on it, gives me a deep thinking that God is near, cos He told if I set Him before me that He would always be @ my right hand. May His name be praised forever. Even in difficult circumstances He is always there for us.

"Different hymns have a way of fitting themselves into people's lives and into religious services in certain ways. In a typical Wednesday night prayer meeting, this hymn is often sung just before the congregation prays. As a matter of fact, it's called a 'prayer song'. It's another one of those simple, straightforward old gospel hymns that points up the feeling folks have of wanting to be close to the Higher Person. And when you sing this song it's a close feeling you do get, a comfortable feeling. They say confession is good for the soul - this is a confession by a true believer that he needs divine help and guidance, needs it every hour of every day." - Tennessee Ernie Ford (1919-91)
Ernie's rendition has just verses 1,2 and 5:
1st verse: Male solo voice
Refrain: Choir in unison
2nd verse: Female solo voice
Refrain: Soprano-alto duet
5th verse: All voices in unison
Refrain: Women's voices on melody. Men's on cued notes.
In moderate time, with much expression
