Alan Jackson - Sweet Hour Of Prayer Lyrics






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!

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!

Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
and wait for Thee, Sweet hour of prayer!

    I always start my day with this song on my computer at work and as the customers stream by they comment on the soothing affect this brings to them

  18. W.... A....

    Our condition as Christians and a collective body of believers in God our Father and His son and our risen savior Jesus the Christ is in dier strait when we must turn to YouTube to listen to music that we can no longer listen to in church.
    I thank God for you Alan and whoever loaded rhymes on this platform.

    Lost a family member yesterday, Lost his mom 3 years ago! I am feeling so alone! My husband died 2 years ago, so alone! I come from a big family, seems like I loose someone every year! I am so heartbroken! Loved Danny so much!

    R.... B....

    Rhonda Boncutter I find it easier to cope when I focus on fond memories; how those loved ones enriched my life and then I think of how I would want them to feel/think if I was the one called Home.
    Stay strong in the Lord!🙏

    R.... B....

    I know the feeling: hardly any of my family left. But the Lord has promised that we will all be together again, and not be parted anymore. We have to believe Him.

    Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work or watch or weep this night, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick, Lord Christ, give rest to the weary, bless the dying, soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted, shield the joyous—and all for your love's sake. Amen.  - Attributed to Augustine, Book of Common Prayer
