Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #313 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 It is the hour of prayer:
Draw near, and bend the knee,
And fill the calm and holy air
With voice of melody!
O'erwearied with the heat
And burden of the day,
Now let us rest our wandering feet,
And gather here to pray.
2 Oh, blessed is the hour
That lifts our hearts on high!
Like sunlight, when the tempests lower,
Prayer to the soul is nigh;
Though dark may be our lot,
Our eyes be dim with care,
These saddening thoughts shall trouble not
This holy hour of prayer. Topics: Prayer; Opening Prayer-Meeting

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion (15th ed.) #506 (1866) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: It is the hour of prayer Lyrics:
It is the hour of prayer:
Draw near and bend the knee,
And fill the calm and holy air
With voice of melody!
O’erwearied with the heat
And burden of the day,
Now let us rest our wandering feet,
And gather here to pray.
The dark and deadly blight
That walks at noontide hour,
The midnight arrow’s secret flight,
O’er us have had no power:
But smiles from loving eyes
Have been around our way,
And lips on which a blessing lies
Have bidden us to pray.
O, blessed is the hour
That lifts our hearts on high!
Like sunlight when the tempests lower,
Prayer to the soul is nigh;
Though dark may be our lot,
Our eyes be dim with care,
These saddening thoughts shall trouble not
This holy hour of prayer.

The Hour of Prayer
Hans G. Nägeli
1773 - 1836 Person Name: H. G. Nageli Composer of "DENNIS" in The Brethren Hymnal Johann G. Nageli (b. Wetzikon, near Zurich, Switzerland, 1773; d. Wetzikon, 1836) was an influential music educator who lectured throughout Germany and France. Influenced by Johann Pestalozzi, he published his theories of music education in Gangbildungslehre (1810), a book that made a strong impact on Lowell Mason. Nageli composed mainly" choral works, including settings of Goethe's poetry. He received his early instruction from his father, then in Zurich, where he concentrated on the music of. S. Bach. In Zurich, he also established a lending library and a publishing house, which published first editions of Beethoven’s piano sonatas and music by Bach, Handel, and Frescobaldi.

Author of "It is the hour of prayer" in A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion. (10th ed.) In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
