Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!

Author: Walford Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 1,291 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 52:9 Lyrics: 1 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 distress and grief My soul has often found relief, And oft escaped the tempter's snare By thy return, sweet hour of prayer. 2 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 grace, Believe his word and trust his grace, I'll cast on him my every care, And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer! 3 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! May I thy consolation share, Till from Mount Pisgah's lofty height I view my home, and take my flight; This robe of flesh I'll drop, and rise To seize the everlasting prize, And shout, while passing through the air, Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!

From every stormy wind that blows

Author: Stowell Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,278 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 52:9 Lyrics: 1 From every stormy wind that blows, From every swelling tide of woes, There is a calm, a sure retreat: 'Tis found beneath the mercy-seat. 2 There is a place where Jesus sheds The oil of gladness on our heads-- A place than all beside more sweet: It is the blood-bought mercy-seat. 3 There is a scene where spirits blend, Where friend holds fellowship with friend; Though sundered far, by faith they meet Around one common mercy-seat. 4 Ah! whither could we flee for aid, When tempted, desolate, dismayed? Or how the hosts of hell defeat, Had suffering saints no mercy-seat? 5 There, there, on eagle's wings we soar, And sin and sense seem all no more; And heaven comes down our souls to greet, And glory crowns the mercy-seat. 6 Oh, let my hand forget her skill, My tongue be silent, cold and still, This bounding heart forget to beat, If I forget thy mercy-seat.

Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 778 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 52:9 Lyrics: 1 Sweet is the work, my God, my King, To praise thy name, give thanks, and sing; To show thy love by morning light, And talk of all thy truth at night. 2 Sweet is the day of sacred rest; No mortal cares should seize my breast; Oh, may my heart in tune be found, Like David's harp, of solemn sound. 3 My heart shall triumph in my Lord, And bless his works, and bless his word; Thy works of grace, how bright they shine! How deep thy counsels! how divine! 4 Lord, I shall share a glorious part When grace hath well refined my heart, And fresh supplies of joy are shed, Like holy oil, to cheer my head. 5 Then shall I see, and hear, and know All I desired or wished below; And every power find sweet employ In that eternal world of joy.
