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!
The joys I feel, the bliss I share, Of those whose anxious spirits burn With strong desires for thy return! With such I hasten to the place Where God my Savior shows His face, And gladly take my station there, And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
3. Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!T
hy 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!
4. 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!”
1. Bendita a hora de oração, pois traz-nos paz ao coração e alívio dá em meio à dor, trazendo auxílio do Senhor. Em tempos de perturbação, na dor maior, na tentação, procurarei com mais fervor a comunhão com o Senhor.
2. Bendita a hora de oração, produto só da devoção, que eleva ao céu o seu odor, em doce cheiro ao meu Senhor. E, finda a hora de aflição, os dias maus, a tentação, então darei melhor louvor a meu Jesus, a meu Senhor.
3. Bendita a hora de oração, de plena paz e comunhão, que traz-me fé e mais amor e enche a vida de dulçor. Desejo a vida aqui findar com fé, amor, constante orar, e lá no céu de resplendor eu cantarei a Deus louvor.

3. Do you fear the gathering clouds of sorrow? Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus. Are you anxious what shall be tomorrow? Tell it to Jesus alone.
4. Are you troubled at the thought of dying? Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus. For Christ’s coming kingdom are you sighing? Tell it to Jesus alone.
