| 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! | |
| 2 | 'Tis the blessed hour of prayer, when the Saviour draws near,
With a tender compassion His children 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! |
| 3 | 'Tis the blessed hour of prayer, when the tempted and tried
To the Saviour who loves them their sorrow confide; With a sympathizing heart He removes every care; What a balm for the weary! O how sweet to be there! |
| 4 | At the blessed hour of prayer; trusting Him, we believe
That the blessing we're needing we'll surely receive; In the fullness of His trust we shall lose every care; What a balm for the weary! O how sweet to be there! |
