’Tis the Blessed Hour of Prayer
Verse 1
’Tis the blessed hour of prayer,
when our hearts lowly bend,
And we gather to Jesus,
our Savior and Friend;
If we come to Him in faith,
His protection to share,
What a balm for the weary!
O how sweet to be there!
when our hearts lowly bend,
And we gather to Jesus,
our Savior and Friend;
If we come to Him in faith,
His protection to share,
What a balm for the weary!
O how sweet to be there!
Refrain
Blessed hour of prayer,
blessed hour of prayer,
What a balm for the weary!
O how sweet to be there!
blessed hour of prayer,
What a balm for the weary!
O how sweet to be there!
Verse 2
’Tis the blessed hour of prayer,
when the Saviour draws near,
With a tender compassion
His children to hear;
When He tells us we may cast
at His feet every care,
What a balm for the weary!
O how sweet to be there!
when the Saviour draws near,
With a tender compassion
His children to hear;
When He tells us we may cast
at His feet every care,
What a balm for the weary!
O how sweet to be there!
Verse 3
’Tis the blessed hour of prayer,
when the tempted and tried
To the Savior who loves them
their sorrow confide;
With a sympathizing heart
He removes every care;
What a balm for the weary!
O how sweet to be there!
when the tempted and tried
To the Savior who loves them
their sorrow confide;
With a sympathizing heart
He removes every care;
What a balm for the weary!
O how sweet to be there!
Verse 4
At the blessed hour of prayer,
trusting Him, we believe
That the blessing we’re needing
we’ll surely receive;
In the fullness of this trust
we shall lose every care;
What a balm for the weary!
O how sweet to be there!
trusting Him, we believe
That the blessing we’re needing
we’ll surely receive;
In the fullness of this trust
we shall lose every care;
What a balm for the weary!
O how sweet to be there!
