How Sweet

How sweet it is to talk to God above,

Who hears my heart not just my words.

He knows me better than I know myself,

He looks deep within, past my outer shell.

When I have no more words to speak,

To Him yet I will still cling,

For silence with Him though it may seem,

A thousand words have gone between.

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 tempter’s snare
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer!

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!

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 through the air,
“Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!”

Sweet Hour of Prayer by William Walford

禱告良辰歌
禱告之時甘甜之時，使我離閞煩惱之事，
來到神的座前發表所有意願，所有需要，
當我遇到重壓、憂愁我魂卻常得著自由
不陷惡者所有佈置，因為有你禱告之時。

禱告之時甘甜之時，如有隻翼載我願辭，
到衪寶座向衪求懇，衪是信實衪是全真。
衪既命我尋求衪面，信衪話語靠衪恩典，
我要將我重擔卸釋，在於你前甘甜之時。

禱告之時甘甜之時，每次相逢慰我心思，
直到我在毗斯迦山，發現我家極目一看，
脫下帳棚安靜等候，信心變見盼望成就，
臨行我必大聲告辭，平安平安禱告之時。
