Text marked as lyrics
3 Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer, your 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 you, sweet hour of prayer. 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 your return, sweet hour of prayer. 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 your return! With such I hasten to the place where God my Savior shows his face, and gladly take my station there, and wait for you, sweet hour of prayer.
