Ephesians 4:2


BIBLE READING:   ECCLESIASTES 4:9-12    

                                                                                                                  9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.


10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.


11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?


12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

HYMN: 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 escaped the tempter’s snare 

by thy return, sweet hour of prayer! 


2. Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! 

the joys I feel, the bliss I share 

of those whose anxious spirits burn 

with strong desires for thy return! 

With such I hasten to the place 

where God my Savior shows his face, 

and gladly take my station there, 

and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer! 


3. 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!
