Come at the morning hour, Comet, let us kneel and pray

James Montgomery • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 55:17

Verse 1

Come at the morning hour, Comet, let us kneel and pray; Prayer is the Christian pilgrim's staff To walk with God all day.

Verse 2

At noon, beneath the Rock Of ages, rest and pray; Sweet is that shelter from the sun In weary heat of day.

Verse 3

At evening, in thy home, Around its altar, pray; And finding there the house of God, With heaven then close the day.

Verse 4

When midnight veils our eyes, Oh, it is sweet to say, I sleep, but my heart waketh, Lord! With thee to watch and pray.
