{c: Verse 1}
Sweet [C]hour of prayer! sweet [F]hour of prayer!
That [C]calls me from a [G]world of care,
And [C]bids me at my [F]Father's throne
Make [C]all my wants and [G7]wishes [C]known.
 
In [F]seasons of dis[C]tress and grief,
My [F]soul has often [C]found re[G]lief
And [C]oft es[C7]caped the [F]tempter's snare
By [C]thy return, sweet [G7]hour of [C]prayer!

{c: Verse 2}
Sweet [C]hour of prayer! sweet [F]hour of prayer!
Thy [C]wings shall my pe[G]tition bear
To [C]Him whose truth and [F]faithfulness
En[C]gage the waiting [G7]soul to [C]bless.

And [F]since He bids me [C]seek His face,
Be[F]lieve His Word and [C]trust His [G]grace,
I'll [C]cast on [C7]Him my [F]every care,
And [C]wait for thee, sweet [G7]hour of [C]prayer!

{c: Ending}
Sweet [C]hour of prayer! sweet [F]hour of prayer!
That [C]calls me from a [G7]world of [C]care.
