A poem copied down in England for a blind friend by a minister traveled three years later across the ocean to America, where it was published in a newspaper. Still later, William Bradbury saw it and composed a melody for it. William Walford is credited with the poem, though that is not 100% verified. "Sweet Hour of Prayer" calls us to a private time of communing with our Lord in a deeply personal way. Truly, time like this with Him IS sweet.
