’Tis the blessed hour of prayer, when our hearts lowly bend,
And we gather to Jesus, our Saviour and friend;
If we come to Him in faith, His protection to share,
’Tis the blessed hour of prayer, when the tempted and tried
To the Saviour who loves them their sorrow confide;
With a sympathizing heart He removes ev'ry care;
At the blessed hour of prayer, trusting Him we believe
That the blessings we’re needing we’ll surely receive;
In the fulness of this trust we shall lose ev'ry care;
REFRAIN
What a balm for the weary! Oh, how sweet to be there!
Blessed hour of prayer, Blessed hour of prayer;
What a balm for the weary! Oh, how sweet to be there!
