'Tis the blessed hour of prayer

Lyrics

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 in faith, His protection to share,
2. 'Tis the blessed hour of pray'r 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,
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;
4. 'Tis the blessed hour of pray'r, trusting Him we believe that the blessings we're needing we'll surely receive; In the fullness of this trust we shall lose ev'ry care.
Refrain: What a balm for the weary, O how sweet to be there! Blessed hour of pray'r, blessed hour of pray'r What a balm for the weary! O how sweet to be there!
