Sweet Hour of Prayer

(William B. Bradbury - William Walford)



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 escapes the tempter's snare

By Thy return sweet hour of prayer.

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...
