364. Tis the Blessed Hour of Prayer

1 'Tis the blessed hour of prayer, when our hearts lowly bend,
And we gather to Jesus, our Savior and Friend;
If we come to Him in faith, His protection to share,
What a balm for the weary! O how sweet to be there!

Chorus:
Blessed hour of prayer,
Blessed Hour of prayer -
What a balm to be weary!
O how sweet to be there!

2 'Tis the blessed hour of prayer, when the Savior draws near
With a tender compassion, His children to hear,
When He tells us we may cast at His feet ev'ry care.
What a balm for the weary! O how sweet to be there! [Chorus]

3 'Tis the blessed hour of prayer, when the tempted and tried
To the Savior who loves them their sorrow confide;
With a sympathizing heart He removes ev'ry care -
What a balm for the weary! O how sweet to be there! [Chorus]

4 At the blessed hour of prayer, trusting Him, we believe
That the blessings we're needing we'll surely receive;
In the fullness of this trust we shall lose ev'ry care -
What a balm for the weary! O how sweet to be there! [Chorus]
