For The Contest- Quatern, “Four Lines From Any Song”
Sponsor, Joseph May
“In English verse, 'prayer' is almost always treated as a single
syllable. If it is to be sung over more than one note, handle it
in the lyrics the same way as any other single-syllable word.
The number of times this word is intended to be two syllables
is vanishingly small.”
