	SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER Words by William W. Walford Music by William B Bradbury 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 (C)Father’s throne Make (C)all my wants and (C/G)wish(G7)es (C)known. In (C)sea(G7/D)sons (C/E)of (F)dis(C)tress and grief, My soul (G7)has (C)oft(F)en (C)found re(G)lief And (C)oft escaped the (F)tempter’s snare By (C)thy return, sweet (C/G)hour (G7)of (C)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 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 through the air, “Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!”
