Sweet Hour of Prayer

 

                                    Sweet Hour of Prayer

There is a place where you can go to make all your wishes known, to lay all your stress and grief in the hands of God. There is a place where you can turn from temptation and cast your every care. It is in your prayers to Almighty God. He has a listening ear and wants us to come to Him with all our wishes, cares, and struggles. He wants us to trust His word and His grace. Trust that He has a place for all of us who come to Him and trust Him to take care of us in even the littlest things.

Lyrics by William W. Walford, arranged by William B. Bradbury

“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! 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, I’ll cast on Him my every care, and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer.

Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! May I thy consolation share, till from Mount Pisgah’s lofty height, I view my home and take my flight; This robe of flesh I’ll drop, and rise to seize the everlasting prize; and shout, while passing thro’ the air, fair well, farewell, sweet hour of prayer.”
