Hymn 604 SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER Lyrics

1. 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.

2. Sweet hour of prayer!
Sweet hour of prayer!
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 every care,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer.

3. Sweet hour of prayer!
Sweet hour of prayer!
May I thy consolations share,
Till, from Mount Pisgah’s lofty height,
I view my home and take my fight:
This robe of flesh I’ll drop and rise
To seize the everlasting prize;
And shout while passing through the air
Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer.
