C F C Am D G
Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer, that calls me from a world of care,
C F C Am C G C
And bids me at my Father's throne make all my wants and wishes known.
C F C F C G
In seasons of distress and grief, my soul has often found relief,
C F C Am C G C
And oft escaped the temper's snare, by thy return, sweet hour of prayer.
C F C Am D G
Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer, thy wings shall my petition bear,
C F C Am C G C
To Him whose truth and faithfulness engage the waiting soul to bless.
C F C F C G
And since He bids me seek His face, believe His word and trust His grace,
C F C Am C G C
I'll cast on Him my every care, and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer.
C F C Am D G
Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer, may I thy consolation share,
C F C Am C G C
Till, from Mount Pisgah's lofty height, I view my home, and take my flight.
C F C F C G
This robe of flesh I'll drop, and rise to seize the everlasting prize,
C F C Am C G C
And shout, while passing through the air, farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer.
