Hymn 504
Sweet hour of prayer!
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 want 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!
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!
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 night:
This robe of flesh I'll drop, and rise
To seize the ever lasting prize;
And shout while passing through the air,
Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer.
Christly Living
