Thankyou for reminding me of this lovely hymn which I remember singing when as a family we attended the Elim Pentecostal church. I’m 90 now and so glad that I remember so many of these lovely hymns that you play. I enjoy new hymns as well., but find it more difficult to remember the words, but remembering the words of the old hymns gives me great joy. God bless.
This hymn is song often at my church helping us to focus our hearts and minds as we approach God in prayer. I am very blessed by this post. Thank you. God be praised
As I have stage 4 cancer, I have found this hymn to be bring me , great peace and love for our Lord Jesus. Knowing one day I will drop this flesh and raise to heaven to be him who died for us all, and Me. paise The Lord
Thank you for the gentle reminder of the importance of taking time to meet with God, especially during this time of turmoil. Bless you for your faithfulness.
Meet me, Lord Jesus! You know my suffering. You know where I fall short. Please empower me by your Holy Spirit and work your everlasting Word into my character. You’re our only hope!
It's one of my favourite hymns. I can sing verse 1 from memory and some parts of the lyrics, too. A beautiful hymn indeed and a good reminder of the essence of communing with God!
Thank you so much, it does bring sweet calm to all of us. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We sing this hymn often. I am choister in our Ward. So beautiful. Brings beautiful calm in all of our hearts. Have a beautiful day.
I chose to listen to this video today because I have often turned to this hymn in my heart as a reminder in time of stress of my constant need for God. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts.
I am now in my seventh decade and remember singing this in church as a child. When I was thirty-two, with three small children, I was diagnosed with encephalitis. I spent weeks in the hospital. I suffered almost stroke-like disabilities from the swelling around my brain. I was so discouraged, even frightened, because I was not able to take care of my children or do even the simplest task. I thank God for my loving Mother. I woke up late one night and the words to this beautiful song came to me. I slipped out of bed and knelt there, praying in my 'distress and grief'. This song is precious to me.
The bells on our Church organ would toll and then the choir would file in quietly and reverently and sing the first verse. Those were the precious days when worship was real worship and our HYMNS full of priceless theological content.
Sir, thank you for this ministry and sharing it with us. This song brings me such sweet memories from my childhood in the Baptist Church. Greetings from Romania, Eastern Europe.
I grew up with this song as a child not in church but when my grandmother had cottage meetings during the week with neighbors in the community has such meaningful to my soul now age 66 I still enjoy singing it with conviction
Yes we sang this song at our Assembly of God church in Milwaukee Wisconsin. It’s a wonderful song to sing; but a difficult one to live out. Oh, but what beautiful words they are. Thank you so much for your ministry.
this is a wonderful song. it is one of the staple songs for prayer back home in Zimbabwe . and hearing it made me think of home. of the wonderful time of prayer . it also brought me back the desire to pray , something l have been struggling with . thank you
The song was translated into Assyrian and as a child I remember it being sung in Assyrian Presbyterian Evangelical Church in Iran. Now, the traditional Assyrian/Armenian Protestant Church in Iran lays largely in ruins, whether physically or metaphorically, but despite the persecution, the underground church with hundreds of thousands of Moslem converts is going from strength to strength.
Prayer is something we should look forward to and enjoy! We should look forward to prayer, it should not be something we just do just because it's important, but something we desire and constantly long for and when we have the privilege to pray we dont want it to stop, it's only then we would be able to say "Sweet" Hour of prayer. Thanks for sharing. Blessed me greatly ❤
I’ve memories of singing and hearing this beautiful song from my childhood. I’m 67 now. I have a old hymn book and sometimes pull it out and sing during my personal worship and this one is special
❤ thanks Pastor. It's hymn 478 on the Seventh Day Adventist hymn book. Much famous & loved in the SDA church, the world over. God bless. The original protestant believers are most attracted to the lyrical content of these hymns ❤ Phoebe in Pretoria
A hymn we used to sing in our church many years ago but back then people attended the hour of prayer held each week, they took it seriously! This modern age we are too taken up in a busy world to spend time singing about a sweet hour of prayer, sadly!
Thank you, Pastor Luke! We often sing this beautiful hymn in our church services here in Texas… it is a favorite! I’m so happy you’ve discovered it! Blessings!
Thank you for these devotionals, Luke. I look forward to these every week, and get up early on Saturday mornings to spend time in prayer and meditate on your thoughts. I had to share this on Facebook this morning. Here are my thoughts: “Sweet hour of prayer. Sweet hour of prayer. Of meditation. I’m listening to this beautiful devotional thought as I putter in the pepper garden. I’ve refilled our eight bird feeders. The birds watch me with eagerness. This morning they didn’t wait for me to finish. The cat also watches me with eagerness. The bluejays and finches and ring neck doves are excited. A woodpecker and her babies are watching, and they are about 10 feet away. They’ve learned to trust me. Which is fascinating. And I’m puttering in the peppers. Lots of jalapeños and chilies and cowhorns to harvest this morning. A soft cool rain is falling, and I take it all in and soak it all in while listening to this devotional. Cooper left a bit ago. He gives Horn lessons to a young lady on Saturday mornings. He has embraced this as a ministry. Lisa is not feeling well, and is silent as she is still in bed. I’m getting ready for a family reunion today. It’s my mom’s family. I’m so grateful for her memory, and for her family. I have a very dear cousin that comes. She is a prayer partner, and I love her dearly. The soft cool rain continues. The birds are flocking. The peppers are plentiful and beautiful. And I am soaked in a sweet hour of prayer. “
Hi Pastor, I don’t know if you’ve covered this old hymn. “Now Thank We All Our God,” by Martin Rinckart. It was written during the Thirty Years War. Powerful story. Inspiring hymn. Thanks.
Yes, we sing this in Jamaica 🇯🇲! I listen to this version when I am indoors but the original when I am going to pray. A Jamaican version: ruclips.net/video/7iBxEPAX3NQ/видео.htmlsi=gSa7LMqjHRiCgMw3 It gets our hearts ready to prayer.
You should react to the Collingsworth Family singing Praise the Lord. It’s on their new album: Classics and Hymns, and the video is on the Gaither RUclips channel. It’s awesome and very powerful!
This is a Southern gospel rendition from a legendary group The Happy Goodman Family! ruclips.net/video/u_70R7HszcY/видео.htmlsi=mzJOGrSbRCr5ML3O She (Vestal Goodman) is the first person I think of when I hear the title of this song!

May the Lord bless you and keep you. Continue to hold tightly to the blessed hope of our soon coming Savior.

We sang this in the Baptist church in which I grew up in Louisiana. I have always loved it, especially the first verse.

Thank you, Pastor Luke! We often sing this beautiful hymn in our church services here in Texas… it is a favorite! I’m so happy you’ve discovered it! Blessings!
First song I learned to play on the organ!
We sing this song almost everyday in our local church. It's always a reminder of the importance of prayer sessions.
We sing it at my childhood church and my parents and I always loved this hymn.
Hi Luke,thanks so much for this beautiful song,I pray every day

Amen. Hallelujah.
Thanks for taking me through, lovely christian testimony. Indeed He deserves most of our Time. A sure investment! Shalom!
One of my favorite song. Growing up, I used hear my mum sing this song in the early hours of the morning (3am). Now am an adult, this song blesses me
I sang this in my church in the Pacific NW in the USA in the 1960s.
This is a beautiful song from my childhood.
This is a favorite in The Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints. I enjoy your RUclips very very much!💕 Thank you, from Arizona, USA 🇺🇸
As a child, I grew to love this hymn during the midweek prayer meeting, something most church goers probably know nothing about.
My Uncle Rickey & I sing this song 🎵.
Beautiful hymn. I learned it on my own as part my actual “Sweet Hour of Prayer” 🙏🏼
Beautiful song I remember singing in the Methodist church where my grandmother played the piano. Many years ago. ❤
Thank you, such a blessing.
wednesday night prayer meetings always works
I've lived in Coleshill! I Love God and appreciate your ministry. Thank you sooo much.
