[Verse]
L1: Sweet | hour of prayer, sweet | hour of prayer, That | calls me from a | world of care And | bids me at my | Fa - ther's throne Make | all my wants and | wish - es known! | In | sea - sons of dis | - tress and grief My | soul has of - ten | found re - lief, And | oft es - caped the | tempt - er's snare | By | thy re - turn, sweet | hour of prayer.
L2: Sweet | hour of prayer, sweet | hour of prayer, Thy | wings shall my pe | - ti - tion bear To | Him whose truth and | faith - ful - ness En | - gage the wait - ing | soul to bless; | And | since He bids me | seek His face, Be | - lieve His word and | trust His grace, I'll | cast on Him my | ev - 'ry care, | And | wait for thee, sweet | hour of prayer.
L3: Sweet | hour of prayer, sweet | hour of prayer, May | I thy con - so | - la - tion share, Till | from Mount Pis - gah's | loft - y height I | view my home and | take my flight: | This | robe of flesh I'll | drop, and rise To | seize the ev - er | - last - ing prize, And | shout, while pass - ing | through the air, | "Fare | - well, fare - well, sweet | hour of prayer!"
