’Tis the Blessed Hour of Prayer

’Tis the blessed 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, oh, how sweet to be there!

’Tis the blessed 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, oh, how sweet to be there!

’Tis the blessed 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, oh, how sweet to be there!

At the blessed hour of prayer, trusting Him, we believe
That the blessing we’re needing we’ll surely receive;
In the fullness of the trust we shall lose every care;
What a balm for the weary, oh, how sweet to be there!

Refrain:

Blessed hour of prayer, blessed hour of prayer,
What a balm for the weary, oh, how sweet to be there!

To Know That He Knows

If my best efforts fail, though my friends may reprove,
When I sigh for their solace and prayers,
It will work for my good, if my Savior I love—
He assures me He knows and He cares.

To the Name of Our Salvation

’Tis the Name that whoso preaches
Speaks like music to the ear;
Who in prayer this Name beseeches
Finds sweet comfort ever near;
Who its perfect wisdom reaches,
Heav’nly joy possesses here.

Tread Softly

Be silent, be silent,
Breathe humbly our prayer,
A foretaste of Eden
This moment we share.

Trusting in Jesus, My Savior and Friend

Trusting in Jesus, however you feel,
Trusting in Jesus if prayerless you kneel;
If all the heavens as brass should appear,
Only keep trusting and Jesus is near.

Unanswered Yet

Unanswered yet? The prayer your lips have pleaded
In agony of heart these many years?
Does faith begin to fail, is hope departing,
And think you all in vain those falling tears?
Say not the Father hath not heard your prayer;
You shall have your desire, sometime, somewhere.

Unanswered yet? But you are not unheeded;
The promises of God forever stand;
To Him our days and years alike are equal;
“Have faith in God”; it is your Lord’s command.
Hold on to Jacob’s angel and your prayer
Shall bring a blessing down sometime, somewhere.

Unanswered yet? Nay, do not say ungranted;
Perhaps your part is not yet wholly done;
The work began when first your prayer was uttered,
And God will finish what He has begun.
If you will keep the incense burning there,
His glory you shall see, sometime, somewhere.

Unanswered yet? Faith cannot be unanswered;
Her feet were firmly planted on the Rock;
Amid the wildest storm prayer stands undaunted,
Nor quails before the loudest thunder shock.
She knows Omnipotence has heard her prayer,
And cries, “It shall be done,” sometime, somewhere.

Victory All the Way Along

By the Word indwelling, “watching unto prayer,”
Victory, victory, all the way along;
Resting, while we serve Him, in His keeping care,
Victory all along through Jesus.

Victory for Me

To the front! the cry is ringing,
To the front! Your place is there;
In the conflict men are wanted,
Men of hope, and faith, and prayer.
Selfish ends shall claim no right
From the battle’s post to take us,
Fear shall vanish in the fight,
For triumphant God will make us.

Watch unto Prayer

We Come with Happy Hearts

We cannot go beyond His care,
Whatever be our lot,
And prayer and praise throughout our days,
Shall never be forgot.
