\n‘Tis the blessed hour of prayer, when our hearts lowly bend,
\nAnd we gather to Jesus, our Savior and Friend;
\nIf we come to Him in faith, His protection to share,<\/p>\n
Refrain
\nWhat a balm for the weary! O how sweet to be there!
\nBlessed hour of prayer, Blessed hour of prayer,
\nWhat a balm for the weary! O how sweet to be there!<\/p>\n

\n‘Tis the blessed hour of prayer, when the Savior draws near,
\nWith a tender compassion His children to hear;
\nWhen He tells us we may cast at His feet every care,<\/p>\n
3
\n‘Tis the blessed hour of prayer, when the tempted and tried
\nTo the Savior who loves them their sorrows confide;
\nWith a sympathizing heart He removes every care;<\/p>\n
4
\n‘Tis the blessed hour of prayer, trusting Him we believe,
\nThat the blessings we’re needing we’ll surely receive;
\nIn the fullness of this trust we shall lose every care;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
