I need you every hour, most gracious Lord

No tender voice like yours can peace afford.

I need you every hour please stay right here

Temptations lose its power when you are near

So draw me nearer, nearer to the cross

Where my Savior died

Draw me nearer, still nearer

To your precious bleeding side.

That’s where I wanna be Lord Hallelujah

I need you every hour, in joy and pain

Come quickly and abide or my life is vain

I need you every hour, teach me your will

Your precious promises in me fulfill

Ooohh draw me nearer, nearer to the cross

Where my Savior died

Draw me nearer, still nearer

To your precious bleeding side.

That’s where I wanna be, I wanna be nearer

draw me nearer, nearer to the cross

Where my Savior died

Draw me nearer, still nearer

To your precious bleeding side.
