In the song, "Sweet hour of prayer," the word "bid" is used in this way:
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...
And since He bids me seek His face,
Believe His Word and trust His grace...
So... would it be correct as well if I instead say, "and bids me to my Father's throne" and "And since He bids me to seek His face"?
My intention is not to change the wording of the song but to know my options when it comes to using the word in similar contexts in daily life.
