1. Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!That calls me from a world of care,And bids me at my Father’s throneMake all my wants and wishes known.In seasons of distress and griefMy soul has often found reliefAnd oft escaped the tempter’s snareBy thy return, sweet hour of prayer!And oft escaped the tempter’s snareBy thy return, sweet hour of prayer!
2. Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!Thy wings shall my petition bearTo him whose truth and faithfulnessEngage 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!I’ll cast on him my every care,And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
