Sweet Hour Of Prayer

Words by William Walford, Music by William Bradbury
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 despair 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…
And since He bids me seek His face,
Believe in His word, trust His grace
I’ll cast on Him my every care,
And wait for Thee sweet hour of prayer.
