Sweet Hour of Prayer

                                  Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!

That calls me from a world of care

And bids me to my Father's throne

Make all my wants, my 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 him, sweet hour of prayer!
