1.Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!that calls me from a world of care,and bids me at my Father’s thronemake all my wants and wishes known.In seasons of distress and grief,my soul has often found relief,and oft escaped the tempter’s snareby thy return, sweet hour of prayer!2.Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!thy wings shall my petition bearto him whose truth and faithfulnessengage 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!3.Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!May I thy consolation shareTill from Mount Pisgah’s lofty heightI view my home and take my flight.In my immortal flesh I’ll riseTo size the everlasting prize.And shout while passing through the air,“Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!”
