There’s an Hour That Comes

There’s an hour that comes

Like a heal­ing balm

When ev­en­ing’s shades are fall­ing

And we lay our cares

At the Sav­ior’s feet

His gift of grace re­call­ing.

Lovingly now

fer­vent­ly now

Welcome this hour

Of ho­ly calm so sweet;

Lovingly now

fer­vent­ly now

Breathing the pray­er of faith

At Je­sus’ feet.

’Tis the hour of pray­er

That re­news our strength

Makes our Christ­ian du­ty clear­er;

’Tis the hour of pray­er

And its pow­er that draws

Our heav’n­ly home still near­er.

’Tis the pray­er of faith

That dis­pels our clouds

Gives joy be­yond ex­press­ion

For it fills our hearts

And it crowns our lives

With all that’s worth pos­sess­ing.
