2 verse:
'Tis the precious hour of prayer,
And we humbly entreat:
Father, breathe the Spirit now.
As we bow at Thy feet.
Touch our lips with power of song;
Fill our souls with Thy love,
And bestow the benediction
Of Thy peace from above.
3 verse:
'Tis the sacred hour of prayer,
Calm as heaven above;
Soul to soul is breathing here
The communion of love.
Every heart is sweetly filled
With a peace most profound;
Oh, the place is like to heaven
Where such true joys abound.
