Sweet hour of prayer! (2) 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 often escaped the tempter's snare,By thy return,
sweet hour of prayer!
2. Sweet hour of prayer! (2)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 Savior
shows His face,
And gladly take my station there, And wait for Thee,
sweet hour of prayer!
3. Sweet hour of prayer! (2)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!
4. Sweet hour of prayer! (2) 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
