1 Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer!
2 Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer!
3 Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer!
D A Asus4 A
1 That calls me from a world of care,
2 Thy wings shall my pe -ti-tion bear
3 May I thy con - sol -la-tion share,
A D Dsus4 D7 G
1 And bids me at my Fa-ther's throne
2 To Him whose trugh and faith-ful-ness
3 Till, from Mount Pis-gah's sloft-y height,
D Dsus2 D A D
1 Make all my wants and wish-es known;
2 En -gage the wait -ing soul to bless;
3 I view my home, and take my flight:
D Dsus2 D G D
1 In sea-sons of dis-tress and grief,
2 And since He bids me seek His face,
3 This robe of flesh I'll drop, and
Dsus2 D G D A ->A7
1 My soul has of -ten found re-lief,
2 Be-leive His Word and trust His grace,
3 rise to seize the ev- er-last-ing prize;
D Dsus2 D G
1 And oft es -caped the tempt-er's snare
2 I'll cast on Him my ev-'ry care,
3 And shout, while pass-ing thru the air,
D Dsus2 D A D
1 By thy re -turn, sweet hour of prayer.
2 And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer.
3 "Fare-well, fare-well sweet hour of prayer."
