1.    Sweet hour of pray’r, sweet hour of pray’r,
    That calls me from a world of care,
    And bids me at me 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 pray’r

2.    Sweet hour of pray’r, sweet hour of pray’r,
    The joy 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 Saviour, shows his face,
    And gladly take my station there
    And wait for thee, sweet hour of pray’r

3.    Sweet hour of pray’r, sweet hour of pray’r,
    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 ev’ry care,
    And wait for thee, sweet hour of pray’r
