Author: Sac. Lyrics Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #315 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Morning Prayer-Meeting Lyrics: 1 How sweet the melting lay,
That breaks upon the ear,
When, at the hour of rising day,
Christians unite in prayer!
2 The breezes waft their cries
Up to Jehovah's throne;
He listens to their bursting sighs,
And sends his blessings down.
3 So Jesus rose to pray,
Before the morning light;
Once on the chilling mount did stay,
And wrestle all the night.
4 Glory to God on high,
Who sends his blessings down
To rescue souls condemned to die,
And makes his people one.
How sweet the melting lay
