SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER

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 temptor's snare
By they return, sweet hour of prayer.

Hopi version (above verse):
Yep na- wa- kin- pit ha- lay- pi,
It qa- tsit anqw nuy na- nwa- yi
Nuy i nay ki- yat aw wi- ki,
I hak niy pep pam na- vo- nwu.
Yep qa- tsit nuy so- kop- tiqw o,
I- hikw- si u- mi tsa- law- nwu,
Nu u- mi yep sa wa- yaw- nwu,
I- nu- mum niqw nu na- wak- na.

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 bliss;
And since He bids me seek His face,
Believe His word and trust His grace,
I'll cast on Him my ev'ry care,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer.

Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer!
May I thy consolation share,
Till, from Mount Pisgah's lofty height,
I view my home, and take my flight;
This robe of flesh I'll drop, and rise
To seize the everlasting prize;
And shout, while passing thru the air,
Fairwell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer.
