VERSE 1

          D                                G

Sweet hour of pray'r, sweet hour of pray'r,

        D                       A

That calls me from a world of care,

        D                    G

And bids me at my Fa-ther's throne,

          D                         A7       D

Make all my wants and wishes known...

            D                G   D

In sea-sons of dis-tress and grief,

      D           G        D            A7

My soul has of-ten found re-lief,

                       D        (D7)        G              

And oft es-caped the tempt-er's snare, . . .

By they re-turn, sweet hour of pray'r.

Sweet hour of pray'r, sweet hour of pray'r,

Thy wings shall my pe-ti-tion bear

To him whose truth and faith-ful-ness

En-gage the wait-ing soul to bless. . .

Be-lieve his word, and trust his grace, . . .

I'll cast on him my ev-'ry care,
