Author: Wm. W. Walford Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #290 (1927) First Line: Sweet hour of pray'r, sweet hour of pray'r Lyrics: 1 Sweet hour of pray'r, sweet hour of pray'r!
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 pray'r!
And oft escaped the tempter's snare,
By thy return, sweet hour of pray'r!
2 Sweet hour of pray'r, sweet hour of pray'r,
The joy 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 pray'r,
And gladly take my station there,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of pray'r!
3 Sweet hour of pray'r, sweet hour of pray'r,
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 ev'ry care,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of pray'r,
I'll cast on Him my ev'ry care,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of pray'r! Topics: Spiritual Songs Prayer Languages: English Tune Title: [Sweet hour of pray'r, sweet hour of pray'r]
