Sweet Hour of Prayer

1 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 my wants and wishes known.  In seasons of distress and grief, my soul has often found relief, and oft escaped the tempter’s snare by thy return, sweet hour of prayer! 
2 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! 
the joys I feel, the bliss I share of those whose anxious spirits burn with strong desires for thy return! With such I hasten to the place where God my Savior shows his face, and gladly take my station there, and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer! 
3 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! 
thy wings shall my petition bear to him whose truth and faithfulness engage the waiting soul to bless. And since he bids me seek his face, believe his word, and trust his grace, I’ll cast on him my every care, and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

Just a Little Talk With Jesus

1 I once was lost in sin but Jesus took me in and then a little light from heaven filled my soul.
It bathed my heart in love and wrote my name above, and just a little talk with Jesus made me whole.
REFRAIN:
Now let us have a little talk with Jesus, tell Him all about our troubles, He will hear our faintest cry and He will answer by and by.
Now when you feel a little prayer wheel turning, and you know a little fire is burning,
You will find a little talk with Jesus makes it right, makes it right.

2 Sometimes my path seems drear, without a ray of cheer, and then a cloud of doubt may hide the light of day; the mist of sin may rise and hide the starry skies, but just a little talk with Jesus clears the way. REFRAIN
3 I may have doubts and fears,
My eyes may fill with tears, but Jesus is a friend who watches day and night;
I go to him in prayer, he knows my every care, and just a little talk with Jesus, makes it right. REFRAIN

Just a Little Talk With Jesus- African A Capella Version

Yield Not To Temptation

1 Yield not to temptation for yielding is sin; each Vic’try will help you some other to win; fight manfully onward, dark passions, subdue; look ever to Jesus, he carry you through.
REFRAIN:
Ask the Savior to help you, comfort, strengthen, and keep you; he is willing to aid you, he will carry you through.

2 Shawn, evil companions, bad language, disdain; God’s name, hold in reference, nor take it in vain; be thoughtful and earnest, kind hearted, and true look ever to Jesus, he’ll carry you through. REFRAIN
3 to him that overcome, God, give us a crown; through faith, we will conquer, though often cast down; he who is our savior, our strength will renew; love ever to Jesus, he’ll carry you through. REFRAIN

Hymn of Promise

1 In the bulb there is a flow­er; in the seed, an ap­ple tree; in coc­oons, a hid­den pro­mise: butterflies will soon be free!
In the cold and snow of win­ter there’s a spring that waits to be, unrevealed un­til its sea­son,
something God alone can see.

2 There’s a song in ev­ery si­lence, seeking word and me­lo­dy; there’s a dawn in ev­ery dark­ness,
bringing hope to you and me.
From the past will come the fu­ture; what it holds, a mys­te­ry, unrevealed un­til its sea­son,
something God alone can see.

3 In our end is our be­gin­ning; in our time,
in­fi­ni­ty; in our doubt there is be­liev­ing; in our life, eter­ni­ty,
In our death, a re­sur­rec­tion; at the last, a
vic­to­ry, unrevealed un­til its sea­son, something God alone can see.
