1 When doubt and fear arise,
O Lord, I come to thee!
I know thy love, thy grace
Can cheer and comfort me.
Chorus:
O blessed hour of prayer,
What comfort thou canst bring;
I soar to Christ's dear throne
Upon thy mighty wing.
2 When life seems wondrous fair,
When all is joy and peace,
I kneel in thanks to thee,
Thou wilt my joy increase. [Chorus]
3 And so in joy or grief,
Alike I kneel to thee,
In that blessed hour of prayer,
My Savior come to me. [Chorus]
