+Hymn: Sweet Hour of Prayer UMH496

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

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

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

and oft escaped the tempter's snare by thy return, sweet hour of prayer!


2. Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! the joys I feel, the bliss I share of those whose anxious spirits burn with strong desires for thy return! With such I hasten to the place where God my Savior shows his face, and gladly take my station there, and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!


3. Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! thy wings shall my petition bear to him whose truth and faithfulness engage the waiting soul to bless. And since he bids me seek his face, believe his word, and trust his grace, I'll cast on him my every care, and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

Liturgist: When deceivers come and the nations rise in anger, then hear us: All: have mercy on us, Lord.

Liturgist: When famines begin, and when the earth shakes to bring the future to birth, then hear us: All: have mercy on us, Lord.

Liturgist: When we take our stand to witness to your truth, when our people are arrested and betrayed, then hear us: All: have mercy on us, Lord.

Liturgist: When the sun is darkened and the moon fails to give us light, and when the stars fall from the sky, then hear us: All: have mercy on us, Lord.
