LyicsMY God, is any hour so sweet,
From blush of morn to evening star,
As that which calls me to Thy feet,
The hour of pray'r?
Blest is the tranquil hour of morn,
And blest that hour of solemn eve,
When, on the wings of pray'r upborne,
The world I leave.
Then is my strength by Thee renew'd;
Then are my sins by Thee forgiv'n;
Then dost Thou cheer my solitude
With hopes of heav'n.
Hush'd is each doubt, gone every fear;
My spirit seems in heav'n to stay;
And e'en the penitential tear
Is wiped away.
