I Need Thee Every Hour

(1) I need thee ev'ry hour, most gracious Lord,
No tender voice like thine, can peace afford.
I need thee, oh, I need thee; Ev'ry hour I need thee!
Oh, bless me now, my Savior; I come to thee!

(2) I need thee ev'ry hour, stay thou near by.
Temptations lose their pow'r When thou art nigh
I need thee, oh, I need thee; Ev'ry hour I need thee!
Oh, bless me now, my Savior; I come to thee!

(3)I need thee ev'ry hour, in joy or pain.
Come quickly and abide, Or life is vain.
I need thee, oh, I need thee; Ev'ry hour I need thee!
Oh, bless me now, my Savior; I come to thee!

(4)I need thee ev'ry hour, most holy One.
Oh, make me thine indeed, Thou blessed Son!
I need thee, oh, I need thee; Ev'ry hour I need thee!
Oh, bless me now, my Savior; I come to thee!

We sang this song in my Book of Mormon class the other day and I felt the spirit so strongly while singing it. I later pondered why the spirit spoke to me so strongly during this song rather than the rest of the class. I came to the conclusion that since finals are coming up, I need my Savior more than ever. I need His comfort and His love while I'm struggling through this time. I love this song more now that I have had before. I feel like it has more personal meaning to me now and I really love that! I hope that all of us recognize that everything we have comes from our Heavenly Father and our Savior and that it's okay to feel like we always need Him. Let us all think about this daily.

  1. I love this hymn too. sometimes i don't think we give the hymns the credit they deserve. the Spirit can be felt so strongly as we really read the words and think about what they are teaching us. i also think that the Spirit is in the music as well. i love hearing the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. :)
    Good luck this week Sweetie! You know we are praying for you. :)
