Sunday Sweet

One of my favorites to you on this Sunday.

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!
