C F
Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
C G7 C G C G
That calls me from a world of care,
C F
And bids me at my Father’s throne
C G7 C C/G G7 C
Make all my wants and wishes known.
G7 C/E F C
In seasons of distress and grief,
G7 C/E F C G
My soul has often found relief
C F
And oft escaped the tempter’s snare
C G7 C C/G G7 C
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer!
C F
Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
C G7 C G C G
The joys I feel, the bliss I share,
C F
Of those whose anxious spirits burn
C G7 C C/G G7 C
With strong desires for thy return!
G7 C/E F C
With such I hasten to the place
G7 C/E F C G
Where God my Savior shows His face,
C F
And gladly take my station there,
C G7 C C/G G7 C
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
C F
Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
C G7 C G C G
Thy wings shall my petition bear
C F
To Him whose truth and faithfulness
C G7 C C/G G7 C
Engage the waiting soul to bless.
G7 C/E F C
And since He bids me seek His face,
G7 C/E F C G
Believe His Word and trust His grace,
C F
I’ll cast on Him my every care,
C G7 C C/G G7 C
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
C F
Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
C G7 C G C G
May I thy consolation share,
C F
Till, from Mount Pisgah’s lofty height,
C G7 C C/G G7 C
I view my home and take my flight:
G7 C/E F C
This robe of flesh I’ll drop and rise
G7 C/E F C G
To seize the everlasting prize;
C F
And shout, while passing through the air,
C G7 C C/G G7 C
“Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!”
