Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer
That calls me from a world of care
And bids me at my Father's throne
Makes all my wants and wishes known, known, known, 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
