ANGELS' SONGS FROM THE GOLDEN CITY OF THE BLESSED

<<  O SWEET AND SACRED HOUR OF  >>
PRAYER

Oh, it is good to pray to God,
To leave earth's cares awhile;
And lay our burdens at the Cross,
And rest in Jesus' smile.
O sweet and sacred hour of prayer,
When I speak from my heart,
And commune with God, my Saviour,
And choose life's better part.
How wonderful that I can speak
From earth on bended knee;
And that this feeble voice of mine^
Can reach eternity!
Where'er I be I know that God
Will hear me when I pray;
Nor prison walls, nor pain, nor death.
Can keep my prayers away.
How blest am I to have a friend.
In God, life's King divine.
For when I pray to Him, His love
Does ever o'er me shine.
