There is more to this hymn than is written here.
eg The words 'Hear my Prayer'
are not in this text.—Preceding

I added the rest of the text, since this article had only 4 lines of a very long and beautiful hymn.—Preceding

Does anybody know who wrote the German version ('Hoer mein Bitten')? — Preceding

Disambiguation
<<Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto Thee.>> is the beginning of
Psalm 102 (
King James Version). Of course, there are lots of text and music that use [the beginning of] this phrase. Therefore, I would suggest to turn this one into a disambiguation page and shift the Mendelssohn composition to
Hear My Prayer (Mendelssohn) in order to allow more pages with this line (e.g.
Hear My Prayer (Purcell) or
Hear My Prayer (Hogan)). Cheers, --

There's no need for disambiguation until those article are written. Even then, a hatnote would probably do. --

Requested move 25 May 2023
The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Support per nomination, but it should be noted that, on 28 August 2022, the main title header had been unilaterally moved from "
Hear My Prayer" to "
Hear my prayer", with the edit summary, "Should be decapitalized as per
MOS:INCIPIT" ("Incipits: If a work is known by its first line or few words of text (its incipit), this is rendered in sentence case, and will often be the Wikipedia article title"). Whether it is applicable in this instance will have to be determined by consensus. —

The entire reason we have guidelines is to apply them across similar cases and avoid wasting editorial time and productivity (and goodwill) relitigating the same questions over and over and over again on a page-by-page basis. You must know this by now. —

Oppose, because I believe that this is no song, so NCSONG doesn't apply. --

Whether a song or not, it's the title of a work, so
MOS:CAPTITLE applies. But I wonder if this fits under
MOS:INCIPIT, which would favour the current title. —

In this lead section, you should see "Hear My Prayer" in bold title.

That can easily be changed. We generally don't use Wikipedia as evidence to support its own content. —

That is a good point. I don't know how we decide in such cases. Perhaps we should try to see what is done in
reliable sources. —

Oppose. This is obviously a
MOS:INCIPIT case. The fact that the kind of confused anon can find another case of an incipit that is over-capitalized on WP doesn't mean we should have another one, it means we need to do another RM to fix that one, too. —
