30. Call To Prayer

1 Come to the place of pray'r,
The daily work is done;
This holy hour, the hour to rest,
The Spirit bids you come,
Come with united hearts and raise
To God the song of grateful praise,
Come, come, come to the place of pray'r,
Come, come, come to the place of pray'r.

2 Come to the place of love,
The saints in God are one;
'Tis sweet to spend an hour in peace,
When daily work is done,
And hold communion pure and sweet,
Around the common mercy-seat.
Come, come, come to the place of love,
Come, come, come to the place of love.

3 Come to the place of joy,
'Tis Heaven on earth begun;
'Tis bliss to drink at mercy's fount,
When daily work is done,
And gather strength to work anew,
'Till sun shall set with heaven in view.
Come, come, come to the place of joy,
Come, come, come to the place of joy.

4 Come to the place of rest,
Where strong desires prevail,
Where hope, the Christian's anchor sure,
Is cast within the vail,
And grasps the Rock of Ages there,
Where Jesus hears and answers prayer.
Come, come, come to the place of rest,
Come, come, come to the place of rest.

5 Come to the Throne of Grace;
The blessed hour will come
When God will call you to your home,
When all your work is done.
To sing on high the joyful psalm,
The song of Moses and the Lamb.
Come, come, come to the Throne of Grace,
Come, come, come to the Throne of Grace.
