  4     5  -5   6       6    -6  -7    7
Sweet hour of prayer, Sweet hour of prayer,
 -6    6    5   5 -4   4   -4  5 -4
That calls me from a world of care,
 4   5   -5  6  6  -6  -7      7
And bids me at my Fat-her's throne
 -6   6   5  5 -4  4   5   -4   4
Make all my wants and wish-es known;
 6  7   -7   7  -6   6    5    6
In Sea-sons of dis-tress and grief,
 6   7   -7  7  -6   6    5  -4
My soul has of-ten found re-lief,
 4   5  -5   6    6   -6   -7    7
And oft es-caped the tempter's snare
-6  6   5  5 -4    4    5  -4    4
By thy re-turn, sweet hour of prayer.


Verse 2:
  4     5  -5    6      6    -6  -7    7
Sweet hour of prayer, Sweet hour of prayer,
 -6   6     5    5  -4 4-4  5 -4
Thy wings shall my petition bear,
 4  5   -5     6    6   -6    -7  7
To Him whose truth and faith-ful-ness
-6   6   5    5  -4    4   5 -4  4
En-gage the wait-ing soul to bless;
 6    7   -7  7   -6   6   5   6
And since He bids me seek His face,
 6   7   -7   7   -6   6    5   -4
Believe His word and trust His grace,
  4    5  -5  6   6 -6  -7   7
I'll cast on him my ev-ery care,
 -6   6   5  5 -4    4     5  -4    4
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer.


Verse 3:
  4     5  -5    6      6    -6  -7    7
Sweet hour of prayer, Sweet hour of prayer,
 -6 6  5   5  -4  4  -4   5 -4
May I thy con-so-la-tion share,
  4     5    -5   6  6     -6  -7   7
Till, from Mount Pisgah's loft-y height,
-6  6   5  5-4    4    5  -4   4
I view my home , and take my flight;
  6    7  -7   7    -6    6    5    6
This robe of flesh I'll drop, and rise
 6   7    -7  7 -6   6   5   -4
To seize the ev-er-last-ing prize;
 4    5     -5     6  6   -6   -7   7
And shout, while passing thro' the air,
 -6  6      5   5   -4 4    5  -4    4
Farewell, Farewell, sweet hour of prayer.
