Sweet Hour of Prayer (v2 acapella); First Methodist Houston, 1/8/2023

Verse 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.

Verse 2:

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! 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.

Verse 3:

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.
