hymnal 361
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 on faith, His protection to share,
What a balm for the weary! O how sweet to be there!
Blessed hour of prayer, blessed hour of prayer,
What a balm for the weary! O how sweet to be there!
2. 'Tis the blessed hour of prayer, when the Savior 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!
Blessed hour of prayer, blessed hour of prayer,
What a balm for the weary! O how sweet to be there!
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!
Blessed hour of prayer, blessed hour of prayer,
What a balm for the weary! O how sweet to be there!
4. At the blessed hour of prayer, trusting Him we believe
That the blessings 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!
Blessed hour of prayer, blessed hour of prayer,
What a balm for the weary! O how sweet to be there!
