Sweet Moments Of Prayer

by Frank M. Davis

Oh, how sweet are the moments of prayer,
When the heart to the Lord lowly bends,
Oh, what comfort and joy to be there,
To commune with the dearest of friends.

Oh, how sweet are the moments of prayer,
When the soul is o'erburdened with grief;
On the Saviour to cast all our care,
And receive there the sweetest relief.

Oh, how sweet are the moments of prayer,
To the soul that is tempted to stray;
Gaining strength to withstand every snare,
That would lead from the heavenly way.

Chorus

Moments of prayer, sweet moments of prayer
Away from this world and its care;
Moments of prayer, sweet moments of prayer
How the spirit is cheered by sweet moments of prayer.
