Nat King Cole

Nathaniel Adams Coles (March 17, 1919 – February 15, 1965), known professionally as Nat King Cole, was a musician who first came to prominence as a leading jazz pianist. He owes most of his popular musical fame to his soft baritone voice, which he used to perform in big band and jazz genres. He was one of the first black Americans to host a television variety show, and has maintained worldwide popularity since his death. more »

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! 

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! 

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!
