Author: Charlotte Elliott Hymnal: Concordia #43 (1918) Hymnal Title: Concordia 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 Blest is that tranquil hour of morn,
And blest that solemn hour of eve,
When, on the wings of prayer upborne,
The world I leave.
3 Then is my strength by Thee renewed;
Then are my sins by Thee forgiven;
Then dost Thou cheer my solitude
With hopes of heaven.
4 No words can tell what sweet relief
Here for my ev'ry want I find,
What strength for warfare, balm for grief,
What peace of mind.
5 Hushed is each doubt, gone every fear,
My spirit seems in heaven to stay,
And e'en the penitential tear
Is wiped away.
6 Lord, till I reach that blissful shore,
No privilege so dear shall be
As thus my inmost soul to pour
In prayer to Thee. Topics: Praise and Prayer Prayer Languages: English Tune Title: ALMSGIVING
