1
Blessed Lord, how much I need Thee!
Weak and sinful, poor and blind;
Take my trembling hand and lead me;
Strength and sight in Thee I find.

Refrain
Every hour, every hour,
Blessed Lord, how much I need Thee!
Every hour, every hour,
Saviour, keep me every hour.

2
Clothe me with Thy robe of meekness,
Stained with sin this robe of mine;
Teach me first to feel my weakness,
Then to plead for strength divine.

3
Safe am I if Thou dost guide me—
Trusting self, how soon I fall!
Walk life's rugged way beside me,
Thou, my light, my life, my all.

4
Then whate'er the future bringeth,
Smiles of joy, or tears of grief,
Still to Thee my spirit clingeth,
Thou art still my soul's relief.
