’Tis the blessed hour of prayer

Lyrics: Fanny Crosby
Music: Howard Doane



’Tis the blessed hour of prayer, 
when our hearts lowly bend,
And we gather to Jesus, 
our Saviour and Friend;
If we come to Him in faith, 
His protection to share,
What a balm for the weary, 
O how sweet to be there!

Refrain:
Blesséd hour of prayer, 
blesséd hour of prayer,
What a balm for the weary, 
O how sweet to be there!

’Tis the blessed hour of prayer, 
when the Saviour draws near,
With a tender compassion 
His children to hear;
When He tells us we may cast 
at His feet every care,
What a balm for the weary, 
O how sweet to be there!

’Tis the blesséd hour of prayer, 
when the tempted and tried
To the Saviour Who loves 
them their sorrow confide;
With a sympathizing heart 
He removes every care;
What a balm for the weary, 
O how sweet to be there!

At the blesséd hour of prayer, 
trusting Him, we believe
That the blessing we’re needing 
we’ll surely receive;
In the fullness of the trust 
we shall lose every care;
What a balm for the weary, 
O how sweet to be there!
