Misc Praise Songs – Only Believe Song Book - 5 Sweet Hour Of Prayer (Guitar)

      D                     G
Sweet hour of pray’r, sweet hour of pray’r,

     D                          A
That calls me from a world of care,

    D             G
And bids me at my Father’s throne,

     D                A7     D
Make all my wants and wishes known

   D           G   D
In seasons of distress and grief,

   D        G      D       A7
My soul has often found re lief,

    D      D7        G
And oft es-caped the tempter’s snare,

   D                   A       D
By thy re-turn, sweet hour of pray’r.

      D                     G
Sweet hour of pray’r, sweet hour of pray’r,

     D                          A
The joy I feel, the bliss I share,

    D                     G
of those whose anxious spirits burn,

     D                A7     D
with strong desires for thy return!

   D           G   D
With such I hasten to the place

   D        G          D        A7
where God, my Saviour, shows His face,

    D       D7       G
and gladly take my station there,

   D                     A       D
and wait for thee, sweet hour of pray'r

      D                     G
Sweet hour of pray’r, sweet hour of pray’r,

    D                   A
Thy wings shall my petition bear

   D                   G
To him whose truth and faith-ful-ness

   D                 A7      D
En-gage the wait-ing soul to bless.

    D        G       D
And since he bids me seek his face,

   D         G         D         A7
Be-lieve his word, and trust his grace,

     D        D7    G
I’ll cast on him my ev-‘ry care,

    D                    A       D
And wait for thee, sweet hour of pray’r.
