  1. My God, is any hour so sweet
    From blush of morn to evening star,
    As that which calls me to Thy feet—
    The hour of prayer?

  2. Blest is that tranquil hour of morn,
    And blest that hour of solemn eve,
    When, on the wings of prayer upborne,
    The world I leave.

  3. For then a day-spring shines on me,
    Brighter than morn’s ethereal glow;
    And richer dews descend from Thee,
    Than earth can know.

  4. Then is my strength by Thee renew’d;
    Then are my sins by Thee forgiven;
    Then dost Thou cheer my solitude
    With hopes of heaven.

  5. No words can tell what sweet relief
    There for my every want I find,
    What strength for warfare, balm for grief,
    What peace of mind.

  6. Hushed is each doubt, gone every fear;
    My spirit seems in Heaven to stay;
    And e’en the penitential tear
    Is wiped away.

  7. Lord, till I reach yon blissful shore,
    No privilege so dear shall be
    As thus my inmost soul to pour
    In prayer to Thee. Amen.
