C                           F
Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!

C          G7 C G     C  G
That calls me from a world of care,

C             F
And bids me at my Father’s throne

C         G7 C   C/G G7 C
Make all my wants and wishes known.

G7  C/E F  C
In seasons of distress and grief,

G7  C/E F   C       G
My soul has often found relief

C               F
And oft escaped the tempter’s snare

C       G7  C     C/G  G7 C
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer!

C                           F
Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!

C          G7 C G     C  G
The joys I feel, the bliss I share,

C             F
Of those whose anxious spirits burn

C         G7 C   C/G G7 C
With strong desires for thy return!

G7  C/E F  C
With such I hasten to the place

G7  C/E F   C       G
Where God my Savior shows His face,

C               F
And gladly take my station there,

C       G7  C     C/G  G7 C
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

C                           F
Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!

C          G7 C G     C  G
Thy wings shall my petition bear

C             F
To Him whose truth and faithfulness

C         G7 C   C/G G7 C
Engage the waiting soul to bless.

G7  C/E F  C
And since He bids me seek His face,

G7  C/E F   C       G
Believe His Word and trust His grace,

C               F
I’ll cast on Him my every care,

C       G7  C     C/G  G7 C
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

C                           F
Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!

C          G7 C G     C  G
May I thy consolation share,

C             F
Till, from Mount Pisgah’s lofty height,

C         G7 C   C/G G7 C
I view my home and take my flight:

G7  C/E F  C
This robe of flesh I’ll drop and rise

G7  C/E F   C       G
To seize the everlasting prize;

C               F
And shout, while passing through the air,

C       G7  C     C/G  G7 C
“Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!”
