345 - 'Tis the Blessed Hour of Prayer
’Tis the blessèd hour of prayer, when our hearts lowly bend, And we gather to Jesus, our Savior 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! Blessèd hour of prayer, Blessèd hour of prayer: What a balm for the weary! O how sweet to be there!

’Tis the blessèd hour of prayer, when the Savior 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! Blessèd hour of prayer, Blessèd hour of prayer: What a balm for the weary! O how sweet to be there!
3.
’Tis the blessèd hour of prayer, when the tempted and tried To the Savior 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! Blessèd hour of prayer, Blessèd hour of prayer: What a balm for the weary! O how sweet to be there!
4.
At the blessèd hour of prayer, trusting Him we believe That the blessing we’re needing we’ll surely receive; In the fullness of this trust we shall lose every care What a balm for the weary!
O how sweet to be there! Blessèd hour of prayer, Blessèd hour of prayer: What a balm for the weary! O how sweet to be there!
