# 501 ‘Tis the Blessed Hour of Prayer
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!
Refrain : 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 sorrows 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 blessings 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!
