Hymns and Tunes for Praise in the Sunday-School #9 (1891) First Line: To God, in realms above Lyrics: 1 To God, in realms above, ‘Tis sweet to pray; To God, so rich in love, ‘Tis sweet to pray. I call upon His name; I do not call in vain; Oh, it is mine to say, ‘Tis sweet to pray, Sweet to pray! 2 As He is always near, ‘Tis sweet to pray; As He will help to cheer, ‘Tis sweet to pray. I know He cares for me; I know His love so free; Oh, it is mine to say, ‘Tis sweet to pray, Sweet to pray! 3 At morning’s early light ‘Tis sweet to pray; Then at the coming night ‘Tis sweet to pray. I knock and I believe; I ask and I receive; Oh, it is mine to say, ‘Tis sweet to pray, Sweet to pray! Topics: Prayer Languages: English Tune Title: [To God, in realms above]
