My God Is Any Hour So Sweet

Author: Charlotte Elliott Meter: 8.8.8.4 Appears in 288 hymnals First Line: My God, is any hour so sweet Lyrics: 1 My God, is any hour so sweet From blush of morn to evening star, As that which calls me to Thy feet, The hour of prayer? 2 Then is my strength by Thee renewed; Then are my sins by Thee forgiv’n; Then dost Thou cheer my solitude With hopes of heav’n. 3 No words can tell what sweet relief There for my ev'ry want I find. What strength for warfare, balm for grief, What peace of mind! 4 Hushed is each doubt, gone ev'ry fear; My spirit seems in heav’n to stay; And e’en the penitential tear Is wiped away. 5 Lord, till I reach yon blissful shore, No privilege so dear shall be As thus my inmost soul to pour In prayer to thee. Amen. Topics: Cleansing and Forgiveness; Comfort; Prayer Used With Tune: EUDORA
