The Hour of Prayer

Glory to God for the joy to meet

Here at the hour of pray­er;

Welcome the bliss of com­mun­ion sweet

Here at the hour of pray­er!

Nearer the gate to the soul’s bright home

Nearer the vales where the faith­ful roam

Nearer to God and the Lamb we come

Here at the hour of pray­er.

Far from the world we may turn away

Here at the hour of pray­er;

Gladly we rest from the toils of day

Here at the hour of pray­er.

Rich are the bless­ings that all may seek

Here at the hour of pray­er;

Grace for the wea­ry

the faint

the weak

Here at the hour of pray­er.

Oh

what a holy and calm re­pose

Here at the hour of pray­er!

Love in its full­ness the heart o’er­flows

Here at the hour of pray­er.
