Lord I Need Thee Every Hour
Annie Hawks, a homemaker from
Brooklyn, was busy with 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 by the open window in
April 1872 and inspired by Ps 86,
the words were penned to paper.
Lord, we Need You & Walk With You:
Bend down O Lord & hear my prayer.
Answer me, for I NEED Your help.
Protect me, for I am devoted to You.
Save me, for I serve You & trust You.
You are my God. Be merciful to me,
Lord for I’m calling on U constantly.
Give me happiness, O Lord,
for my life depends on You.
O Lord, You are so good, so ready
to forgive, so full of unfailing love
for all who ask Your aid (Ps 86:1-5).
Listen closely to my prayer…
hear my urgent cry. I will call
to You whenever trouble strikes
and You will answer me (v6-7).
Teach Me Your Way, O Lord;
I will WALK In Your Truth;
Unite my heart to fear Your name.
I will praise You, O Lord my God,
with all my heart, and I will glorify
Your name forevermore (v11-13).
Lord, incline to me & hear my prayer;
answer me for I need Your help.
I need Your strength to overcome
temptations and face challenges.
I need You to save and deliver me
for I serve You and trust in You.
I need Your blessings so that I can
be a source of blessings to others.
I need You Lord in every way,
so bless me now my Saviour,
even as I come to Thee! Amen.
Lord, I need Thee ev’ry hour,
Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford…
I need Thee ev’ry hour,
Stay Thou nearby;
Temptations lose their pow’r
When Thou art nigh…
I need Thee every hour
In joy or pain
Come quickly and abide
Or life is vain…
I need Thee, O I need Thee;
Ev’ry Hour I need Thee!
O bless me now, my Saviour,
I come to Thee. Amen.
Lord, teach us Your way and we
will Walk With You in Your truth.
Teach us what it really means
to walk by faith and not by sight;
and to stay constantly close to You.
And we praise our loving Heavenly
Father who longs to Be with us:
to Keep us from all wrong,
to Bless and keep us satisfied,
to Share our cares & burdens; and
to Guide us to kingdom shore. Amen
