Glory to God for the joy to meet
Here at the hour of prayer;
Welcome the bliss
of communion sweet
Here at the hour of prayer!
Nearer the gate
to the soul’s bright home,
Nearer the vales
where the faithful roam,
Nearer to God
and the Lamb we come,
Here at the hour of prayer.
Far from the world
we may turn away,
Here at the hour of prayer;
Gladly we rest
from the toils of day
Here at the hour of prayer.
Nearer the gate
to the soul’s bright home,
Nearer the vales
where the faithful roam,
Nearer to God
and the Lamb we come,
Here at the hour of prayer.
Rich are the blessings
that all may seek
Here at the hour of prayer;
Grace for the weary,
the faint, the weak,
Here at the hour of prayer.
Nearer the gate
to the soul’s bright home,
Nearer the vales
where the faithful roam,
Nearer to God
and the Lamb we come,
Here at the hour of prayer.
Oh, what a holy and calm repose
Here at the hour of prayer!
Love in its fullness
the heart o’erflows
Here at the hour of prayer.
Nearer the gate
to the soul’s bright home,
Nearer the vales
where the faithful roam,
Nearer to God
and the Lamb we come,
Here at the hour of prayer.
