Sweet Hour Of PrayerNow Peter and John went up together at the hour of prayer. Acts 3:1Sweet 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 reliefAnd 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 bearTo 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, Til 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 everlasting prize;And shout, while passing through the air, Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer.
