Sweet hour of prayer, Sweet hour of prayer,
-6 6 5 5 -4 4

That calls me from a world of care,
4 5 -5 6 6 -6 -7

And bids me at my Fat-her's throne
-6 6 5 5 -4 4 5 -4

Make all my wants and wish-es known;
6 7 -7 7 -6 6
5 6
In Sea-sons of dis-tress and grief,
6 7 -7 7 -6 6
5 -4
My soul has of-ten found re-lief,
4 5 -5 6 6 -6
-7 7
And oft es-caped the tempter's snare
-6 6 5 5 -4 4 5
-4 4
By thy re-turn, sweet hour of prayer.
Verse 2:

Thy wings shall my petition bear,
4 5 -5 6 6
-6 -7 7
To Him whose truth and faith-ful-ness
-6 6 5 5 -4 4
5 -4 4
En-gage the wait-ing soul to bless;
6 7 -7 7 -6 6

And since He bids me seek His face,
6 7 -7 7 -6 6

Believe His word and trust His grace,

4 5 -5 6 6
-6 -7 7
Till, from Mount Pisgah's loft-y height,
-6 6 5 5-4 4 5
-4 4
I view my home , and take my flight;
6 7 -7 7 -6
6 5 6
This robe of flesh I'll drop, and rise
6 7 -7 7 -6 6 5

To seize the ev-er-last-ing prize;
4 5 -5 6
6 -6 -7 7
And shout, while passing thro' the air,
-6 6 5 5 -4 4
5 -4 4
Farewell, Farewell, sweet hour of prayer.
