Sweet Hour of Prayer

Author: William Walford Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 1,380 hymnals First Line: Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer 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 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. 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 thro' the air, "Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!" Scripture: Acts 1:14 Used With Tune: SWEET HOUR

And Can It Be That I Should Gain

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 308 hymnals Refrain First Line: Amazing love! how can it be Lyrics: 1 And can it be that I should gain An int'rest in the Savior's blood? Died He for me, who caused His pain? For me, who Him to death pursued? Amazing love! how can it be That Thou, my God, should die for me? Refrain: Amazing love! how can it be That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me. 2 'Tis mystery all! Th'Immortal dies! Who can explore His strange design? In vain the firstborn seraph tries To sound the depths of love divine! 'Tis mercy all! let earth adore, Let angel minds inquire no more. (Refrain) 3 He left His Father's throne above, So free, so infinite His grace; Emptied Himself of all but love, And bled for Adam's helpless race; 'Tis mercy all, immense and free; For, O my God, it found out me. (Refrain) 4 Long my imprisoned spirit lay Fast bound in sin and nature's night; Thine eye diffused a quick'ning ray, I woke, the dungeon flamed with light; My chains fell off, my heart was free; I rose, went forth and followed Thee. (Refrain) 5 No condemnation now I dread; Jesus, and all in Him is mine! Alive in Him, my living Head, And clothed in righteousness divine, Bold I approach th'eternal throne, And claim the crown, through Christ my own. (Refrain) Amen.

O happy hearts and happy homes To whom this King in triumph comes! The cloudless Sun of joy He is, Who bringeth pure delight and bliss.

Thy Holy Spirit guide us on, Until our glorious goal be won. [Refrain] Amen.
