I hope you will permit me a personal indulgence. “Sweetly Lord” is my father’s song, one I remember especially well because he sang it to me when I was little and it was sung again at his funeral. He was a great musician and a great man, and I miss him. No, he wasn’t Catholic and this song probably doesn’t belong at Mass, but it is very pretty and sincere.

did your father write this song? its quite lovely and i certainly can see this as a great call to worship (protestant introit for those in need of a translation)
thank you for sharing this. as we get older our parants become more important i think.
Yes, Dad wrote this along with probably 100 other songs and several large cantatas. He was really something.
