Sweet Hour of Prayer
Written by: William W. Walford and William B. Bradbury
Tabbed By: Xaxu
I take no credit for this tab. I could not find the 
one who made this tab, credit goes to them.
[Verse 1]
Sweet Dhour of prayer, sweet Ghour of prayer
That Dcalls me from a Aworld of care
And Dbids me at my GFather’s throne
Make Dall my wants and A7wishes Dknown
In Dseasons Gof disDtress and grief
My Dsoul has Goften Dfound reA7lief
         D(D7)      G  
And oft escaped the tempter’s snare
By Dthy return, sweet Ahour of Dprayer
[Verse 2]
Sweet Dhour of prayer, sweet Ghour of prayer
The Djoys I feel, the Abliss I share
of Dthose whose anxious Gspirits burn
with Dstrong desires for A7thy reDturn
With Dsuch I Ghasten Dto the place
where DGod my GSavior Dshows his A7face
          D(D7)    G  
and gladly take my station there
and Dwait for thee, sweet Ahour of Dprayer
[Verse 3]
Sweet Dhour of prayer, sweet Ghour of prayer
Thy Dwings shall my peAtition bear
To Dhim whose truth and Gfaithfulness
EnDgage the waiting A7soul to Dbless
And Dsince he Gbids me Dseek his face
BeDlieve his Gword, and Dtrust his A7grace
            D(D7)   G  
I’ll cast on him my every care
And Dwait for thee, sweet Ahour of Dprayer
