Sweet Hour of Prayer

Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer,Thy wings shall my petition bear,To Him whose truth and faithfulnessEngage the waiting 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.4. 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 riseTo seize the everlasting prize;And shout, while passing through the air,Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!

Prayer Is the Soul’s Sincere Desire

Author: James Montgomery, 1771–1854 Hymnal: Hymns of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints #145 (1985) Topics: Prayer; Prayer and Supplication Lyrics: 1. Prayer is the soul’s sincere desire, Uttered or unexpressed, The motion of a hidden fire That trembles in the breast. 2. Prayer is the burden of a sigh, The falling of a tear, The upward glancing of an eye When none but God is near. 3. Prayer is the simplest form of speech That infant lips can try; Prayer, the sublimest strains that reach The Majesty on high. 4. Prayer is the Christian’s vital breath, The Christian’s native air, His watchword at the gates of death; He enters heav’n with prayer. 5. Prayer is the contrite sinner’s voice, Returning from his ways, While angels in their songs rejoice And cry, “Behold, he prays!” 6. The Saints in prayer appear as one In word and deed and mind, While with the Father and the Son Their fellowship they find. 7. Nor prayer is made on earth alone: The Holy Spirit pleads, And Jesus at the Father’s throne For sinners intercedes. 8. O thou by whom we come to God, The Life, the Truth, the Way! The path of prayer thyself hast trod; Lord, teach us how to pray. Scripture: James 5:16 Languages: English Tune Title: [Prayer is the soul’s sincere desire]
