History Behind the Hymn "I Need Thee Every Hour":
"I Need Thee Every Hour" (Hymns 98) is a cherished Christian hymn that has provided comfort and inspiration to countless people over the years. The hymn was written by Annie S. Hawks and composed by Robert Lowry in the 19th century.

Annie Sherwood Hawks was born in 1835 in New York City. She was a devout Christian and a dedicated wife and mother. The hymn's lyrics were born out of her deep faith and the challenges she faced in her personal life. One day, she was inspired to write the text of the hymn, expressing her need for divine guidance and support in every moment of her life. She wrote the text in a single day.

The hymn's text resonated with many, but it was Robert Lowry, a prominent hymn composer and pastor, who set it to music. Lowry composed the tune in 1872, creating a melody that beautifully complemented the lyrics. The hymn was first published in 1872 in the collection "Brightest and Best."

"I Need Thee Every Hour" quickly gained popularity and has since become a classic in Christian hymnody, conveying the universal human need for divine grace and guidance.
