Sweet Hour of Prayer – New mp3 available
Since I became one of the song leaders at our church I have learned many phenomenal old hymns that I had never heard before. One that really blows me away is “Sweet Hour of Prayer.” An absolutely beautiful hymn in every way.
I decided on the way home from work today that I wanted to record my own rendition of this classic tune. From the first time I heard it I thought it would sound great played in an old, lamenting folk style so that’s how I approached it on this recording.
I hope you like it.
Here is a wonderful, traditional version by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Stunning.
Oh, my. How absolutely reverent and beautiful. I’m certain that’s exactly how the writer wanted it to be presented. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing. Next time you have a microphone in one hand and a phone book in the other hand could you settle a bet for me? Thanks.
