This stained glass window is prominently placed in the rear of the main sanctuary of Union Baptist Church. It was designed by John LaFarge, an American stain glass designer who developed the opulent glass technique made famous by Louis Tiffany.
The calming effect of the rays of sun that dance through the window with a rainbow array of colors produces a calming effect and a tranquil sense of peace. After dealing with the many issues of one's day, it good to know that there is a place of solace and safety.
The song would say: "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 escape the tempter's snare by thy return, sweet hour of prayer."
