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. 3 Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer, may I thy consolation share, till, from Mount Pisgah's lofty height, I view my home and take my flight. This robe of flesh I'll drop and rise to seize the everlasting prize; and shout, while passing through the air, "Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!"

Author: Daniel March Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 508 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark, the voice of Jesus calling, "Who will go and work today? Fields are white, and harvests waiting, who will bear the sheaves away?"

Here, O My Lord, I See You Face to Face

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 316 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Here, O my Lord, I see You face to face; here would I touch and handle things unseen; here grasp with firmer hand eternal grace, and all my weariness upon You lean. 2 This is the hour of banquet and of song; this is the heavenly table spread for me; here let me feast, and feasting, still prolong the hour of fellowship so rich and free. 3 Here would I feed upon the bread of God, here drink anew the royal wine of heaven; here would I lay aside each earthly load, here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiven. 4 Too soon we rise; the symbols disappear; the feast, though not the love, is past and gone. The bread and win remove; but You are here, nearer than ever, still my shield and sun. 5 Feast after feast thus comes and passes by; yet, passing, points to the glad feast above, giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy, the Lamb's great bridal feast of bliss and love.

[Refrain] 3 Down in the human heart, crushed by the tempter, feelings lie buried that grace can restore; touched by a loving heart, wakened by kindness, chords that are broken will vibrate once more.
