Acappella Sweet Hour of Prayer song lyrics

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

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

Sweet hour, sweet hour, sweet hour of prayer

Sweet hour, sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer

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, amazing grace

I'll cast on Him my every care

And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer

Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer
