Verse 1

 Sweet hour of pray’r, sweet hour of pray’r,

 That calls me from a world of care,

 And bids me at my Fa-ther’s throne,

 Make all my wants and wishes known

 In sea-sons of dis-tress and grief,

 My soul has of-ten found re-lief,

 And oft es-caped the tempt-er’s snare, . . .

 By they re-turn, sweet hour of pray’r.

Verse 2

 Sweet hour of pray’r, sweet hour of pray’r,

 Thy wings shall my pe-ti-tion bear

 To him whose truth and faith-ful-ness

 En-gage the wait-ing soul to bless. . .

 And since he bids me seek his face,

 Be-lieve his word, and trust his grace, . . .

 I’ll cast on him my ev-‘ry care,

 And wait for thee, sweet hour of pray’r.
