Sweet Prayer
Author: Ann Lutton Chadwick Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11420 First Line: When torn is the bosom by sorrow or care Refrain First Line: Prayer, prayer, sweet, sweet prayer Lyrics: 1 When torn is the bosom by sorrow or care,
Be it ever so simple, there’s nothing like prayer;
It eases, soothes, softens, subdues, yet sustains,
Gives vigor to hope, and puts passion in chains.
Refrain:
Prayer, prayer, sweet, sweet prayer,
Be it ever so simple,
There’s nothing like prayer.
2 When far from the friends we hold dearest to part,
What fond recollections still cling to my heart,
Past scenes and past converse, enjoyments are there,
How hurtfully pleasing till hallowed by prayer. [Refrain]
3 When pleasure would woo us from piety’s arms,
The siren sings sweetly, or silently charms,
We listen, love, loiter, are caught in the snare,
On looking to Jesus we conquer by prayer. [Refrain]
4 While strangers to prayer we are strangers to bliss,
Heaven pours its full streams through no medium but this;
And till we the seraphim’s ecstasy share,
Our chalice of joy must be guarded by prayer. [Refrain]

Anonymous
Person Name: Anon. Author of "Prayer, Sweet Prayer" in Select Songs No. 2 In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
