Verse 1
'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.
Chorus
Blessed hour of prayer,
Blessed hour of prayer,
What a balm for the weary!
O how sweet to be there.
Verse 2
"'Tis the blessed hour of prayer when the Saviour-draws near
With tender compassion His people 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.
Chorus
Blessed hour of prayer,
Blessed hour of prayer,
What a balm for the weary!
O how sweet to be there.
Verse 3
"'Tis the blessed hour of prayer when the tempted and tried,
To the Saviour who loves them, their sorrows confide;
With a sympathising heart He removes every care:
What a balm for the weary! O how sweet to be there.
Chorus
Blessed hour of prayer,
Blessed hour of prayer,
What a balm for the weary!
O how sweet to be there.
Verse 4
At the blessed hour of prayer, if we firmly believe
That the blessing we ask for we'll surely receive,
In the fullness of delight we shall lose every care:
What a balm for the weary! O how sweet to be there.
Chorus
Blessed hour of prayer,
Blessed hour of prayer,
What a balm for the weary!
O how sweet to be there.
