Text: | Sweet Hour of Prayer |
Author: | Frances Jane Crosby |
Tune: | SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER |
Composer: | William B. Bradbury, 1816-1868 |
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,
And oft escaped the tempter's snare
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer.
2 Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer,
Thy wings shall my petitions 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 consolation share;
Till from Mount Pisgah's lofty height
I view my home, and take my flight;
This robe of flesh Ill drop, and rise
To seize the everlasting praise;
And shout, while passing through the air,
Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer.
