THIS is the difference between anointed singing and gifted singing. She was anointed and served her generation. The Lord's people everywhere were blessed by the Woman of God! Rest from your labor now!🛐💜💜🛐
@Dr Wiggins ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YsY905W3oB8S.htmlweet Hour of Prayer by William Walford in 1845 Sung by Steven F Gooden-Cohen. William Bradbury Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! That calls us from a world of care, And bids me at my Father’s throne Make all my wants and wishes known. In seasons of distress and grief; My soul has often found relief, And oft escaped the tempter’s snare By thy return, sweet hour of prayer! This hymn goes to the heart of one of the most intrinsic Christian practices: prayer. For William W. Walford (1772-1850), prayer was an intensely private affair where one seeks refuge from temptations and trials and pours out the depths of one’s soul before God who already knows our “wants and wishes.” LYRICS: SUNG BY STEVEN F GOODEN-COHEN ( MUSICAL ARRANGEMENT BY STEVEN F GOODEN-COHEN AND JERRY ADAMOS ) Sweet hour of prayer Sweet hour of prayer That calls me from a world of care And bids me at my Father's throne Make all my wants and wishes known In seasons of distress and grief My soul has often found relief And oft escaped the tempter's snare By Thy return, sweet hour of prayer Sweet hour of prayer Sweet hour of prayer The joys I feel, the bliss I share Of those whose anxious spirits burn With strong desires for Thy return With such I hasten to the place Where God my Savior shows His face And gladly take my station there And wait for Thee, sweet hour of prayer Sweet hour of prayer Sweet hour of prayer And wait for Thee Sweet hour of prayer The kind of prayer fostered in this hymn is private prayer, rather than prayers of the body of Christ gathered in worship. Stanza one focuses on petitionary prayer that responds to “seasons of distress and fear.” Stanza two focuses on prayers of thanksgiving where the singer shares “the joys I feel.” Stanza three returns to petitions, but the focus is on the God “whose truth and faithfulness engage the waiting soul to bless.” The text appears to come from Walford, an obscure, blind lay preacher who served in the hamlet of Coleshill, Warwickshire, England, in the mid-19th century. He owned a small trinket shop in the village. The story goes that a Congregational minister and friend, Thomas Salmon, stopped by Walford’s shop one day in 1842. Walford asked if Salmon would write down his new poem on the subject of prayer. Three years later, Salmon was in the U.S. and showed the poem to the editor of the New York Observer, who printed it in the Sept. 13, 1845 issue. The text first appeared in the 1859 Baptist hymnal Church Melodies, edited by Thomas Hastings and Robert Turnbull. The famous American gospel song writer, William Bradbury (1816-1868)-who composed music for so many beloved gospel hymns such as “Just As I Am” (Charlotte Elliott), “The Solid Rock” (Edward Mote) and “He Leadeth Me” (Joseph H. Gilmore)-also wrote the music for this favorite hymn in 1861. The tune and text appeared together for the first time in Bradbury’s collection Golden Chains, from which it has become a staple of hymnals around the world. The late William J. Reynolds, noted Baptist hymnologist and former author of this column, questioned the authorship of the hymn as described by Salmon. His extensive research could not locate a William W. Walford in Coleshill, but did note that there was a Rev. William Walford, a Congregational minister who served as president of Homerton Academy, who wrote several books including The Manner of Prayer. Coleshill and Homerton are about 110 miles apart, more than two hours by car today, but much longer in the mid-19th century. Reynolds noted, however, that there are similarities between The Manner of Prayer and the hymn. It is entirely possible that Salmon embellished his story to the editor of the New York Observer. It is also possible, Reynolds suggested, that William W. Walford of Coleshill and William Walford of Homerton are one and the same. The original stanza four has been dropped from many hymnals today, but it stresses the eschatological nature of prayer as the gateway to heaven: Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer, May I thy consolations share, Till, from Mount Pisgah’s lofty height, I view my home, and take my flight. This robe of flesh I’ll drop, and rise, To seize the everlasting prize; And shout, while passing through the air, Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer. At the risk of offending some, I should point out that this view of devotional prayer, while certainly valid, should not be confused with public prayers of thanksgiving, adoration, petition, intercession and blessing that are a part of the gathered body of Christ. While I believe this hymn has a place in a hymnal, it does not for example stress prayers for the world-or prayers of the people, as they are sometimes called. This is not a hymn that fosters corporate prayer, but private devotions. The romanticized language adds a tone that stresses withdrawal from the world rather than engagement with the needs of the world as the body of Christ.
I'm in tears. OMG!! If yall knew her story and how many times the devil tried to claim her life. To see her on that stage performing like this is mind blowing. OMG she did so good. I'm in tears.
I am. She died just 3 months after this event. It's so sad... She will definitely be missed. But she is in Heaven with her daughter and her sisters (as one of her daughters predeceased her)...
She didn’t receive the credit for the body of work she’s put in from the 70s throughout the 90s LaShun paid her dues. Artist today make one album and are deemed legend…

The man playing the organ is Richard Gibbs, the son of the late great Ms Inez Andrews. Lashun did awesome. She is no doubt one of the greatest at improvisation when singing. All praises be to Elohim 🙌🏾💯🙏🏾!!!
Who's back here again today after learning of Sis. LaShun's passing? We are so grateful to God for allowing us the blessing of experiencing her love for Christ and her incredible gift of song
Even during her time of going through her sickness she still had one of the purest richest voices in gospel music. A true vessel of God spreading love thru that wondrous anointed voice. May she continue to rest with God on that peaceful shore... Gone but never forgotten rest in peace Sister LaShun Pace!🙌🏽🤲🏽🙏🏽💜
Stunningly paced and controlled singing. Not too much....just enough to keep the focus on the words and God. Jesus is the best thing 🙌🏾 that ever happened to me. Praise the Living God🙌🏾

Am I the only one that got happy and started shouting in my living room. God has been so good I promised him I would praise him in my home in my car in the streets in the store wherever I go. Praise him Lashun Pace.
I remember when this first came out months ago I was in tears. I adore her voice and have done so since I was a child. I was heartbroken when I saw she passed. This song will go down in history as a testimony of the faithfulness of God in her life She sure did glorify Him on this one! She will forever be missed! ❤️ R.I.P LaShun Pace

Do ppl realize how she truly broke that alphabet down 🥺😩😩😩🙌🏾...each letter she stopped on she had a word for it! Lawd this was simply amazing!& she looks great!
Everytime I listen to her sing this song right here Jesus shows up in room she's was the best gospel singer ever and I know the family misses her very much I just wish I could have met her continue to S.I.P I'll never stop listening to your music ❤❤❤❤
That's the difference between being able to sing and being a professional who can flat out sign. The crowd interaction, the dynamics, and control. She was cold!🙌🙌🙌
She is anointed you can hear it in her voice. every time she sing I catch the holy spirit. I call out to Jesus name so hard more than I ever have .she's amazing rest done LaShawn. 💜💜
You girl!!! This was performed just a few months before her passing. I'm so glad that she doesn't have to suffer anymore. She's has a beautiful testimony for us all. Jesus, Jesus is who carried her through. Thank you Lord for this beautiful, annoited vessel.
I remember when this aired I think it was this year or like in December but it was recently, I had fell asleep and when she started singing the ABC's I woke up out my sleep, I said to myself who is this lady singing sounding just like duranice.
Singggggggg Shun!! This is definitely the definition of “taking your time and going with the flow”, a straight up VIBE! She didn’t over do it. She just SANGGGG! Absolutely LOVE this performance!!!!!!! ❤️❤️🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
The world is writing your life story and we all can confirm that you understood your assignment and now God and Man is saying “ Well Done, thou good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of the lord”.
RIP 🙏 Her ministry has truly helped me get through alot of struggles and issues throughout life. She will truly truly be missed. I loved her ! She was one the greatest gospel singers of our times and very underrated. A true anointed woman of God who sang, preached and lived the word of God. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Yes she do look good however I don’t know if you realize this was 2018 for the celebration and it just got released on RU-vid today this particular artist but they are uploading it artist by artist on a daily weekly basis the first want to be uploaded from this concert was Byron cage and Dorinda clark Cole They released it last year that particular clip from that night
From 2018 or NOT: I can still agree with YOUR sentiments. This woman of God has TRULY had to face down a plenty of somewhat, relatively difficult circumstances throughout her entire life. But as we all know (or should know at least): The Almighty has already leveled & measured our backs, to withstand whatever our own uniquely designed LOTS and life assignments shall encompass.
Annointed, angelic vessel. This precious woman of God. I am in tears, but she is in the angelic choir now. Living to live again. I just love her singing. RIP 🙏 💔😪
I love ❤️ Lashun Pace's tribute to our founder Rev. James Cleveland, the King Of Gospel Music 🎶 👑 I really miss both of them seriously. The thing that bothers me so much is how people honor such a man and not include his daughter LaShone Cleveland and or any of his other family members. Not only that but his choirs and group aren't included as well. Most of his God given vision was recorded on Savoy and manufactured by Malaco Records! Unbelievable, wow!!!! If you had to choose one person to sing in his honor, I'm so glad it was Lashun Pace.
She needs a new album now and showcased like this as the gospel legend she is. Her ministry and talent, music needs to be elevated. Give her a record deal somebody ( if she doesn't have one ) The world needs more
Wow such a beautiful song!!! With tears in my eyes I say thank you Lord for saving me and everything that you have bought me through!!! Hang in there my brothers and sisters keep fighting and drawing closer to God!!! Thank you Lord for blessing us with Lashun Pace rest in heaven in God's Glory♥️♥️♥️♥️
Glory to God! She ran the race and she served Jesus well. Father God blessed us with this amazing anointed woman of God. She’s in heaven with Jesus now! Thank you Lord! ❤️🙏🏾
OmG, that arrangement was sooo beautiful. I love the flexibility in her voice and her ability to control her amazing anointed gift. Her lows are amazing and would love to see her do Love and jazz ballots, unto the Lord, and as she tells her testimony. Those tones...Wow.. It Ain't Over Ms. LaShaun. There is more for you. In JESUS Name 🙏🏽Amen.
Something about this lady always touches the deepest part of my spirit…..I’ve been a fan from beginning to now….she simply just knows the God she sings about…it’s really that simple
The alphabet never sounded so good🤦🏿♀️ I can’t take her👌👌👌👌👌👌💋💋 I live and have always lived for Lashun she sings and ministers at the same time and she always touches my soul❤️❤️❤️❤️ Rest In Peace❤️❤️❤️❤️
She was a genius. This rendition is unlike anything I’ve heard and my God she ministered. Her voice not able to reach the highs of her hey day but strong in experience and determination. One of her most defining performances demonstrating her genius as a vocalist.
That voice That voice That voice This video truly blessed my soul today Thanking God for this gifted ,talented and phenomenal woman of God.We will forever be blessed by her music ministry!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
I just can't even find words to express how deeply saddened I am to hear this wonderful and beautiful songstress has passed away. The Pace family has suffered so much loss recently. Praying for them. Rest in Peace to Ms. Lashun. Going to definitely have this performance on repeat.
One of God's greatest singer's!! "" I like when she said her ABC's God's been good to me. Jesus is the best thing that ever happened to me. My Lord she just ministered to the audience like only she could do. La Shun take your rest. Well done. 🙏
What an instrument of God, it was he's time to call her home, her work was done, thank you lord for a beautiful soul, Lushan Pace, Jesus is king indeed, Amen, Amen, Amen sister
