Lyics

How sweet the melting lay 
Which breaks upon the ear
When, at the hour of rising day,
Christians unite in prayer!


The breezes waft their cries
Up to Jehovah's throne;
He listens to their humble sighs,
And sends his blessings down.


So Jesus rose to pray,
Before the morning light,
Once on the chilling mount did stay
And wrestle all the night.
