Sweet Hour of Prayer Lyrics

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

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!

Sweet hour of prayer!

Sweet hour of prayer!

May I Thy consolation share

Till, from Mount Pisgah's lofty height

I view my home and take my flight

This robe of flesh I'll drop, and rise

To seize the everlasting prize

And shout, while passing through the air

"Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!"

"Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!"
