Sweet Hour of Prayer

Verse 1:
Sweet hour of prayer!
Sweet hour of prayer,
That calls me from
A world of care,
And bids me at
My Father's throne
Make all my wants
And wishes known;
In seasons of distress and grief
My soul has often found relief,
And oft escaped the tempter's snare,
By Thy return, sweet hour of prayer.

Verse 2:
Sweet hour of prayer!
Sweet hour of prayer,
The joy I feel,
The bliss I share
Of those
Whose anxious spirits burn
With strong desires
For Thy return!
With such I hasten to the place
Where God, my Savior,
Shows His face,
And gladly take my station there,
And wait for Thee,
Sweet hour of prayer.

Verse 3:
Sweet hour of prayer!
Sweet hour of prayer,
Thy wings
Shall my petition bear
To Him whose truth
And faithfulness
Engage the waiting
Soul to bless;
And since He bids me seek His face,
Believe His word,
And trust His grace,
I'll cast on Him my every care,
And wait for Thee,
Sweet hour of prayer.
