OPEN HEAVENS HYMN 5 OCTOBER 2025

 🎶 Sweet Hour of Prayer

Previous Openheaven hymn

1. Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
   That calls me from a world of care,
   And bids me at my Father’s throne
   Make all my wants and wishes known.
   In seasons of distress and grief,
   My soul has often found relief,
   And oft escaped the tempter’s snare
   By thy return, sweet hour of prayer!

2. Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
   Thy wings shall my petition bear
   To Him whose truth and faithfulness
   Engage the waiting soul to bless.
   And since He bids me seek His face,
   Believe His Word and trust His grace,
   I’ll cast on Him my every care
   And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

3. Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
   May I thy consolation share,
   Till, from Mount Pisgah’s lofty height,
   I view my home and take my flight.
   This robe of flesh I’ll drop and rise
   To seize the everlasting prize;
   And shout, while passing through the air,
   “Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!”
