Sweet Hour of Prayer

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 tempters 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 form
Mount Pis-gah's lofty height
I view my home and take my flight. in my immortal flesh
I'll rise
To seize the everlasting prize.
And shout while passing through the air, '
Fare-well, fare-well, sweet hour of prayer!'
