Hymn 153 Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! Lyrics

 

Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer!

May I thy consolation share,

Till, from Mount Pisgah’s lofty height,

I view my home and take my flight.

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!”

And shout, while passing through the air,

“Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!”
