Suitable for use as a response after prayer, or before a prayer of special petition, as in the case of Elijah in I Kings 18:37: “hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the Lord God.”
MUSIC. The tune is attributed to Handel but the work from which it is taken has not been identified.
