Verse 1

Sweet hour of pray’r, sweet hour of pray’r,

That calls me from a world of care,

And bids me at my Fa-ther’s throne,

Make all my wants and wishes 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 they re-turn, sweet hour of pray’r.

Verse 2

Sweet hour of pray’r, sweet hour of pray’r,

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 pray’r.
