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 desires and burden known
In seasons of distress and grief
My soul has often found relief
Come, know the peace and comfort there
And rest in this sweet hour of prayer
Oh I need You
Oh I need You
Ev'ry hour I need You
Oh I need You
Lord, I need You
Oh bless me as I come
Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer
Though times we have no words to share
Just anxious thoughts and deep distress
The pain of all this brokenness
Our wordless groans and outstretched hands
The Spirit knows and understands
You faithfully our burdens bear
God, You're moving in this sweet hour of prayer
Oh I need You
Lord, I need You
Oh bless me as I come
Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer
Each other's burdens we're called to bear
To guide the lost God came to seek
To help the broken, the poor and weak
Let justice flow like rivers down
Your name throughout the earth resound
Oh stir us up, our hearts prepare
For lives of service and lives of prayer
Oh we need You
Oh we need You
Ev'ry hour we need You
Oh we need You
Lord, we need You
Oh let Your kingdom come
Oh we need You
Oh we need You
Ev'ry hour we need You
Oh we need You
Lord, we need You
Oh let Your kingdom come
Oh let Your kingdom come
