How Sweet the Hour

How sweet the hour of praise and pray­er

When our de­vo­tions blend

And on the wings of faith di­vine

Our songs of joy as­cend!

’Tis then we hear in tones more clear

The gra­cious pro­mise giv’n

That

though we part from friends on earth

We all shall meet in Heav’n.

We all shall meet in Heav’n at last

We all shall meet in Heav’n;

Through faith in Je­sus’ pre­cious blood

We all shall meet in Heav’n.

How sweet the tie of hal­lowed love

That binds our hearts in one;

When ga­thered in the bless­èd name

Of Christ

the Fa­ther’s Son!

And though the part­ing soon may come

Yet in His Word is giv’n

The bless­èd hope that by and by

We all shall meet in Heav’n.

Yes

soon our worn and wea­ry feet

Will reach the gold­en strand

Where those we love our com­ing wait

In yon­der sum­mer­land;

A few more days

a few more years

By storm and tem­pest driv’n

With songs and ev­er­last­ing joy

We all shall meet in Heav’n.
