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 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 Savior 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!

and wait for Thee, Sweet hour of prayer!
