The hour of prayer.
Thou Lord of life! whose tender care
Hath led us on till now,
We in this quiet hour of prayer
Before thy presence bow.
2 Thou, blesséd God! hast been our Guide;
Through life, our Guard and Friend;
O, still, on life’s uncertain tide,
Preserve us to the end!
3 To thee our grateful praise we bring,
For mercies day by day:
Lord, teach our hearts thy love to sing,
Lord, teach us how to pray!
