And we gather to Jesus, our Savior and Friend;
If we come to Him in faith, His protection to share,
What a balm for the weary! O how sweet to be there!
Chorus:
Blessed hour of pray'r, blessed hour of pray'r,
What a balm for the weary! O how sweet to be there!
2 ‘Tis the blessed hour of pray'r, when the Savior draws near,
With a tender compassion His children to hear;
When He tells us we may cast at His feet ev'ry care,
What a balm for the weary! O how sweet to be there! [Chorus]
3 'Tis the blessed hour of pray'r, when the tempted and tried,
To the Savior who loves them their sorrow confide,
With a sympathizing heart He removes every care,
What a balm for the weary! O how sweet to be there! [Chorus]
4 At the blessed hour of pray'r, trusting Him, we believe
That the blessing we’re needing we’ll surely receive;
In the fullness of this trust we shall lose ev'ry care,
What a balm for the weary! O how sweet to be there! [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: ['Tis the blessed hour of pray'r, when our hearts lowly bend]
