218. Holy, Blessed Is the Hour

1. Holy, blessed is the hour,..
When with Thee we go apart;
From Thy lips Thy Word of power,
Hear and truly take to heart.
By Thy grace, O blessed Savior,
Come and open our hearts ever,
That, like faithful Mary, we
Hearers of Thy Word may be!

2. May it in our hearts be ringing,
Till it well be rooted there,
That good fruits it may be bringing
Through the Spirit's dew and care!
O do Thou in Thy good pleasure
Grant us grace in such full measure
That our lives may honor Thee:
Amen! Yea, so let it be!
