Sweet Hour of Prayer
Author: William W. Walford Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 1,292 hymnals Matching Instances: 1,285 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,
the joys I feel, the bliss I share
of those whose anxious spirits burn
with strong desires for thy return!
With such I hasten to the place
where God, my Savior, shows his face,
and gladly take my station there,
and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer.
3 Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer,
thy wings shall my petition bear
to him, whose truth and faithfulness
engage the waiting the soul to bless:
and since he bids me seek his face,
believe his Word, and trust his grace,
I'll cast on him my ev'ry care,
and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer.

Sweet is the Work
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 778 hymnals Matching Instances: 735 First Line: Sweet is the work, my God, my King 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 care shall fill my breast;
Oh, may my heart in tune be found,
Like David's harp, of solemn sound.
3 My heart shall triumph in the Lord,
And bless His works, and bless His word:
His works of grace, how bright they shine!
How deep His counsels, how divine! Topics: Endeavor Used With Tune: [Sweet is the work, my God, my King]

Sweet the moments, rich in blessing
Author: W. Shirley Appears in 823 hymnals Matching Instances: 711 Lyrics: 1 Sweet the moments, rich in blessing,
Which before the cross we spend;
Life, and health, and peace possessing,
From the sinner's dying Friend.
2 Truly blessed is this station,
Low before His cross to lie,
While we see divine compassion
Beaming in His gracious eye.
3 For Thy sorrows we adore Thee,
For the pains that wrought our peace;
Gracious Savior! we implore Thee,
In our souls Thy love increase!
4 Here we feel our sins forgiven,
While upon the Lamb we gaze;
And our thoughts are all of heaven,
And our lips o'erflow with praise.
5 Lord, in loving contemplation,
Fix our hearts and eyes on Thee,
Till we taste Thy full salvation,
And Thine unveiled glory see.
