1 ‘Tis the hallowed hour of prayer,
And we trustingly bring
All our doubting and our fears,
To our Saviour and King;
For we know that He delights
A glad welcome to give,
And the blessings that we ask for
We shall fully receive.

Refrain:
Precious hour of pray’r!
Hallowed hour of pray’r!
Sacred season of communion,
It is sweet to be there!

2 ‘Tis the precious hour of prayer,
And we humbly entreat:
Father breathe the Spirit now.
As we bow at Thy feet;
Touch our lips with power of song;
Fill our souls with Thy love,
And bestow the benediction
Of Thy peace from above. [Refrain]

3 ‘Tis the sacred hour of prayer,
Calm as heaven above;
Soul to soul is breathing here
The communion of love;
Ev’ry heart is sweetly filled
With a peace most profound;
Oh, the place is like to heaven
Where such true joys abound. [Refrain]
