Today's entry will simply be a hymn that has been running through my mind all weekend:
SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER
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 Saviour 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, thy wings shall my petition bear,
To Him whose truth and faithfulness engage the waiting soul to bless:
And since He bids me seek His face, believe His word and trust His grace, I'll cast on Him my ev'ry care
And wait for thee sweet hour of prayer.
Blessings today and remember to pray for those near and dear to your hearts!
