Eb                    Fm7  Eb                   Ab           Eb
’Tis the blessed hour of   prayer, when our hearts lowly bend,

                 Ab Eb       F7         Bb
And we gather to Je-sus, our Savior and Friend;

Eb                Fm7  Eb         Ab            Eb
If we come to Him in   faith, His protection to share,

       Ab           Eb                    Bb Eb
What a balm for the weary! O how sweet to be there!

        Bb   Bb7 Eb              Ab      Eb
Blessed hour of  prayer, Blessed hour of prayer,

       Ab           Eb                    Bb Eb
What a balm for the weary! O how sweet to be there!


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
’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,

[Refrain]
What a balm for the weary! O how sweet to be there!
Blessed hour of prayer, Blessed hour of prayer,
What a balm for the weary! O how sweet to be there!

[Verse 2]
’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,

[Verse 3]
’Tis the blessed hour of prayer, when the tempted and tried
To the Savior who loves them their sorrows confide;
With a sympathizing heart He removes every care;

[Verse 4]
’Tis the blessed hour of prayer, trusting Him we believe,
That the blessings we’re needing we’ll surely receive;
In the fullness of this trust we shall lose every care;
