Sweet Hour of Prayer - Gospel Guitar Tabs

C F C Am D G

Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer, that calls me from a world of care,

C F C Am C G C

And bids me at my Father's throne make all my wants and wishes known.

C F C F C G

In seasons of distress and grief, my soul has often found relief,

C F C Am C G C

And oft escaped the temper's snare, by thy return, sweet hour of prayer.

C F C Am D G

Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer, thy wings shall my petition bear,

C F C Am C G C

To Him whose truth and faithfulness engage the waiting soul to bless.

C F C F C G

And since He bids me seek His face, believe His word and trust His grace,

C F C Am C G C

I'll cast on Him my every care, and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer.

C F C Am D G

Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer, may I thy consolation share,

C F C Am C G C

Till, from Mount Pisgah's lofty height, I view my home, and take my flight.

C F C F C G

This robe of flesh I'll drop, and rise to seize the everlasting prize,

C F C Am C G C

And shout, while passing through the air, farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer.
