lyrics

Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
That calls me from a world of care,
And bids me to my Father’s throne
Make all my wants and wishes known.

Pc:
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!

Chorus:
Lord be near me
Lord you hear me
I will approach your throne
Ever faithful
You are able
You and you alone

Vs2:
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!

Pc2:
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!

Chorus

Bridge 1
My hope is sure as
I lay my burdens bare
My hope endures
as He’s ever present there

Bridge 2
My hope is sure as
I lay my burdens bare
My hope endures
as He’s ever present there

Chorus x2
