VERSE 1
D MajorD G+G
Sweet hour of pray'r, sweet hour of pray'r,
D MajorD A augmentedA
That calls me from a world of care,
D MajorD G+G
And bids me at my Fa-ther's throne,
D MajorD A7A7 D MajorD
Make all my wants and wishes known
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
In sea-sons of dis-tress and grief,
D MajorD G+G D MajorD A7A7
My soul has of-ten found re-lief,
D MajorD (D7D7) G+G
And oft es-caped the tempt-er's snare, . . .
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
By they re-turn, sweet hour of pray'r.
VERSE 2
D MajorD G+G
Sweet hour of pray'r, sweet hour of pray'r,
D MajorD A augmentedA
Thy wings shall my pe-ti-tion bear
D MajorD G+G
To him whose truth and faith-ful-ness
D MajorD A7A7 D MajorD
En-gage the wait-ing soul to bless. . .
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA
And since he bids me seek his face,
D MajorD G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
Be-lieve his word, and trust his grace, . . .
D MajorD (D7D7) G+G
I'll cast on him my ev-'ry care,
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
And wait for thee, sweet hour of pray'r.
