@mlstarner: "Sweet Hour of Prayer" isn't really about the length of a prayer. It's about returning. The hymn imagines prayer less as an emergency measure and more as a familiar place - somewhere you come back to over a lifetime. Not because every visit solves the problem that brought you there, but because the One you're coming to hasn't changed. Maybe that's why the hymn has endured. Not because people have always known how to pray well. Because they've always needed somewhere to return. Tune: SWEET HOUR 1 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. 2 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. #Hymn #Prayer #Faith #ChurchMusic #ChristianTikTok
