Author: Charlotte Elliott Hymnal: Laudes Domini #39 (1890) 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 forgiven;
Then dost thou cheer my solitude,
With hopes of heaven.
3 No words can tell what sweet relief
Here for my every want I find;
What strength for warfare, balm for grief,
What peace of mind!
4 Hushed is each doubt, gone every fear;
My spirit seems in heaven to stay;
And ev'n 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. Topics: Prayer and Invocation; Close of Worship; Opening of Service; Prayer; Close of Worship; Opening of Service; Prayer Languages: English Tune Title: RISEHOLME
