Sweet Hour of Prayer

Appears in 1,309 hymnals First Line: Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer Lyrics: 1 Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer, That calls me from a world of care, And bids me at my Father's throne Make all my wants and wishes known! In seasons of distress and grief My soul has often found relief, And oft escaped the tempter's snare By thy return, sweet hour of prayer. 2 Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer, Thy wings shall my petition bear To him, whose truth and faithfulness Engage the waiting soul to bless: And since he bids me seek his face, Believe his word, and trust his grace, I'll cast on him my every care, And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer. Used With Tune: [Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer]

Fountain

Sun of My Soul

Author: John Keble Appears in 1,451 hymnals First Line: Sun of my soul, thou Saviour dear Lyrics: 1. Sun of my soul, thou Saviour dear, It is not night if thou be near: O may no earthborn cloud arise To hide thee from thy servant's eyes. 2. When the soft dews of kindly sleep My wearied eye-lids gently steep, Be my last thought, how sweet to rest Forever on my Saviour's breast. 3 Abide with me from morn till eve, For without thee I cannot live; Abide with me when night is nigh, For without thee I dare not die. 4 If some poor wandering child of thine Have spurned to-day the voice divine, Now, Lord, the gracious work begin; Let him no more lie down in sin. 5 Watch by the sick; enrich the poor With blessings from thy boundless store; Be every mourner's sleep to-night, Like infant's slumbers, pure and light. 6 Come near and bless us when we wake, Ere through the world our way we take; Till in the ocean of thy love, We lose ourselves in heaven above.

I need thy presence ev'ry passing hour; What but thy grace can foil the tempter's pow'r? Who, like thyself, my guide and stay can be? Thro' cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me! 4. I fear no foe, with thee at hand to bless; Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness; Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if thou abide with me! 5. Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes; Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies; Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!
