|
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!" |
