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 season’s 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!
The joys 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 Saviour shows His face,
And gladly take my station there,
And wait for Thee, 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 Mt. Pisgah’s lofty height
I view my home and take my flight:
in my im-mortal flesh I'll rise
To seize the everlasting prize
And shout while passing through the air,
Farewell, Farewell, sweet hour of prayer!
