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.

This hymn was written by an ordinary 37 year old housewife from Brooklyn, NY. Annie Hawks was busy with her household chores when the words came to her. She later wrote, "I was so filled with a sense of nearness to my Master that, wondering how one could live without Him in either joy or pain, these words, 'I need thee every hour,' were flashed into my mind. Seating myself by the open window in the balmy air of the bright June day, I caught up my pencil and the words were soon committed to paper."
Hawks reflected, "It was not until years later, when the shadow fell over my way, the shadow of a great loss, that I understood something of the comforting power in the words." God often allows us to learn in the sunshine what we will need to lean on in the darkness. - Great Songs of Faith by Brown and Norton.

Lord I need You in this situation. You are the pillar of my life, my strength in time of trouble. Remember Your word and Your blood You shed on the cross of Calvary because of me. Manifest Your power and let all enemies be ashamed.

This has been my soul lifting soul but it could hinder me from enjoying it the way I wanted because I couldn't play it on the piano. Praise be to God that now I have got the music sheet so I can now enjoy it on piano. Thanks hymnal.net for your services. I like that.

Lord I need You all the time. You have been my pillar of strength when all hope was gone, my Provider and my all in all. Difficult to explain but I wish to say that I have experienced what You mean by "You will not leave nor forsake me". Thank You, Lord for Your unending love. I love You!

I love this hymn, it reminds me of the Baptist Church in Athlone CapeTown, when I was a child, and my mother, always singing, she has gone home to the Lord, but I still remember, her example. 69 yrs, and learning I can do nothing without my Lord, He is my everything, and I can only Praise His Holy Name and cry out I NEED THEE; EVERY SECOND MY LORD; HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This song is a prayer I pray daily. I really need You Lord in everything I do, because without You I am nothing. Without You I can't make it. Without You, Lord, my life is vain so please stay near and never leave me.
