SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER

Words: Wm. B. Bradbury
Music: W.W. Walford

Sweet (C)hour of prayer, sweet (F)hour of prayer,
That (C)calls me from a (G)world of care,
And (C)bids me at my (F)Father's throne,
Make (C)all my wants and (G)wish(G7)es (C)known.
In (C)sea(G)sons (C)of (F)dis(C)tress and grief,
My soul (G)has (C)oft(F)en (C)found re(G)lief,
And (C)oft escaped the (F)tempter's snare,
By (C)thy return, sweet (G)hour (G7)of (C)prayer.

Sweet (C)hour of prayer, sweet (F)hour of prayer,
Thy (C)wings shall my pe(G)tition bear
To (C)Him whose truth and (F)faithfulness
En(C)gage the waiting (G)soul (G7)to (C)bless
And (C)since (G)He (C)bids (F)me (C)seek His face,
Believe (G)His (C)Word (F)and (C)trust His (G)grace,
I'll (C)cast on Him my (F)every care,
And (C)wait for thee, sweet (G)hour (G7)of (C)prayer.

Sweet (C)hour of prayer, sweet (F)hour of prayer,
May (C)I thy conso(G)lation share,
Till (C)from Mount Pisgah's (F)lofty height,
I (C)view my home and (G)take (G7)my (C)flight.
This (C)robe (G)of (C)flesh (F)I'll (C)drop and rise
To seize (G)the (C)ev(F)er(C)lasting (G)prize,
And (C)shout, while pass(F)ing through the air,
Fare(C)well, farewell, sweet (G)hour (G7)of (C)prayer.
