HYMN: Sweet hour of prayer! That calls me from a world of care | Adũa didun

ENGLISH LYRICS: Sweet hour of prayer

Hour of prayer Act. 3:1

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!
    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 everlasting prize;
    And shout, while passing through the air,
    Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer.

Amen.
