Author: Fanny Crosby Hymnal: Coronation Hymns #33 (1913) Hymnal Title: Coronation Hymns First Line: Glory to God for the joy to meet Refrain First Line: Nearer the gate to the soul's bright home Lyrics: 1 Glory to God for the joy to meet,
Here at the hour of prayer;
Welcome the bliss of communion sweet,
Here at the hour of prayer.
Chorus:
Nearer the gate to the souls bright home,
Nearer the vales where the faithful roam,
Nearer to God and the Lamb we come,
Here at the hour of prayer.
2 Far from the world we may turn away,
Here at the hour of prayer;
Gladly we rest from the toils of day,
Here at the hour of prayer. [Chorus]
3 Rich are the blessings that all may seek,
Here at the hour of prayer;
Grace for the weary, the faint, the weak,
Here at the hour of prayer. [Chorus]
4 O what a holy and clam repose,
Here at the hour of prayer;
Love in its fulness the heart o'erflows,
Here at the hour of prayer. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Glory to God for the joy to meet]
