#222 "Hear Thou Our Hymn, O Lord"

This is a simple tune and text, but I like it.  It was kind of funny this morning when I went to play my "Hymn of the Day" and without paying attention to the words, I just played the notes and in my mind I sang the words to "We Give Thee But Thine Own" and they fit perfectly!  Then I checked the back of the hymnbook where it lists the meters of the hymns, and sure enough--both hymns are listed under "Short Meter (6 6 8 6)".
I've used this hymn as a choir prelude musical number--back when our bishop wanted the choir to sing prelude before sacrament meeting.  We haven't been asked to sing prelude for several years now, so maybe the ward choir isn't supposed to do that anymore.
