Author: Fanny Crosby Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15930 Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.7.7.7 First Line: There is an hour of calm relief Refrain First Line: O that voice, to me so dear Lyrics: 1 There is an hour of calm relief
From every throbbing care;
’Tis when, before a throne of grace,
I kneel in secret prayer.
Refrain:
O that voice, to me so dear,
Breathing soft on my ear!
Weary child, look up and see;
’Tis thy Savior speaks to thee.
2 When one by one, like threads of gold,
The hues of twilight fall,
O sweet communion with my God,
My Savior and my all! [Refrain]
3 I hear seraphic tones that float
Amid celestial air,
And bathe my soul in streams of joy,
Alone in secret prayer. [Refrain]
4 O when the hour of death shall come,
How sweet from thence to rise,
With prayer on earth my latest breath,
My watchword to the skies. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: YEKATERINBURG
