19. An Hour With Jesus

1 How precious an hour with my Saviour,
To tell him my burden and grief,
To sit at his feet in communion
To me is the sweetest relief.

Refrain:
The friendships of earth may be happy
And pleasant for each to recall,
But one precious hour with the Saviour
Is dearer, far dearer than all.

2 How precious an hour with my Saviour,
It drives the dark cloud from the skies,
Each moment I spend in his presence,
Is filled with the sweetest surprise. [Refrain]

3 How precious an hour with my Saviour,
To ask him for just what I need,
To tell him of sin and of weakness,
His grace and forgiveness to plead. [Refrain]
