Sweet Hour of Prayer

Author: William W. Walford, 1772-1850 Appears in 1,297 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer, That calls me from a world of care, And bids me at my Father's throne Make all my wants and wishes known; In seasons of distress and grief, My soul has often found relief, And oft escaped the tempter's snare, By thy return, sweet hour of prayer. 2 Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer, Thy wings shall my petition bear, To Him whose truth and faithfulness Engage the waiting the soul to bless; And since He bids me seek His face, Believe His Word, and trust His grace, I'll cast on Him my every care, And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer. 3 Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer, May I thy consolation share, Till, from Mount Pisgah's lofty height, I view my home, and take my flight: This robe of flesh I'll drop, and rise To seize the everlasting prize; And shout, while passing through the air, Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!

From Every Stormy Wind That Blows

Author: Hugh Stowell, 1799-1865 Appears in 1,283 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From every stormy wind that blows, From every swelling tide of woes, There is a calm, a sure retreat: 'Tis found beneath the mercy seat. 2 There is a place where Jesus sheds The oil of gladness on our heads; A place than all besides more sweet; It is the blood-bought mercy seat. 3 There is a scene where spirits blend, Where friend holds fellowship with friend; Though sundered far, by faith they meet Around one common mercy seat. 4 Ah! whither could we flee for aid, When tempted, desolate, dismayed: Or how the hosts of hell defeat, Had suffering saints no mercy-seat? 5 Ah! there, there on eagle wings we soar, And time and sense seem all no more: And heav'n comes down our souls to greet, While glory crowns the mercy seat. Amen. Topics: Intercession; Prayer Hymns about; The Christian Way of Life Prayer and Watchfulness Used With Tune: RETREAT
