HYMN 22: SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER

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 escape the tempter's snare 

By thy return, sweet hour of prayer! 

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 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 ever lasting prize 

And shout while passing through the air, 

Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer.
