#145 "Prayer Is the Souls' Sincere Desire"

When I played this hymn today, I was surprised to notice that the hymn seemed different to me in measures 7-11.  I looked up this hymn in the old hymnal and found out why I felt that way.  In the old hymnal, the women sing measures 7-11, but in the 1985 edition, bass and tenor parts have been added.  I like the old way better.  I've used this hymn for choir, and how we made it special was to sing only verses 5-8, which are rarely sung by the congregation.  At the end of verse 8, we added a tag ending on "Lord, teach us how to pray."
