'Tis the hallowed hour of prayer, And we trustingly bring All our doubtings and our fears To our Saviour and King ; For we know that He delights A glad welcome to give, And the blessings that we ask for We shall fully receive.
Precious hour of prayer ! Hallowed hour o Sacred season of communion, It is sweet to be there !
2. 'Tis the precious hour of prayer, And we humbly entreat : Father, breathe the Spirit now, As we bow at Thy feet ; Touch our lips with power of song ; Fill our souls with Thy love. And bestow the benediction Of Thy peace from above.
3. 'Tis the sacred hour of prayer, Calm as heaven above ; Soul to soul is breathing here The communion of love ; Every heart is sweetly filled With a peace most profound ; Oh, the place is like to heaven Where such true joys abound.
