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! W 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 ev’ry care, and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

Announcements
Offertory Your Hands, O Lord, in Days of Old Vocalists
Joseph Gioe, flute
Words: Edward H. Plumptre (1821-1891), alt.; Music: Carson P. Cooman (b.
Your hands, O Lord, in days of old were strong to heal and save; They triumphed over pain and death, o’er darkness and the grave. to you they went, the blind, the mute, the palsied and the lame, The leper set apart and shunned, the sick and those in shame. W And then your touch brought life and health, gave speech and strength and sight; And youth renewed, with health restored, claimed you, the Lord of light. And so, O Lord, be near to bless, almighty now as then, In every street, in every home, in every troubled friend. W O be our mighty healer still, O Lord of life and death; Restore and strengthen, soothe and bless with your almighty breath, On hands that work and eyes that see, your healing wisdom pour, That whole and sick and weak and strong may praise you evermore.
Doxology Old 100th
