"Lord, let your light, light of the world, shine on us" is the first line of a praise song (from Phillips, Craig, and Dean?). I think there was an instrumental version.

At one church I attended, there would be a time of silent prayer, then the organist would play the last few measures of "The Lord's Prayer"--from, "for Thine is the kingdom, etc" to the end. That was over 20 years ago but I still remember it. After she was done playing, then the pastor led in prayer.

I think a few others mentioned Anthony Burger, Dino, and both of them made fantastic piano music. Anthony of course rests from his labors but his works do follow him.

Really it all depends on what type of prayer service you're trying to conduct. Is it part of a scheduled worship service, like one on a Sunday morning? You might an instrumental that's a little more formal--sorry, can't think of another word--so that you could lead the people in prayer. If it's a less formal time, say a Wednesday night service, you would probably be able to use something that sets the mood--relaxing? uplifting? contemplative?

And one other idea--maybe devote one or two of these meetings to prayer for a different country, and use some of the music from that nation. Would definitely add a bit of flavor to the meeting! There was a missionary to Scotland who either sang or played one of the most moving songs ever, something about "I walked with God through Scotland" and closed with "Here am I, Lord! Came the answer, Go to Scotland for Jesus to win". The church almost had revival! O how I hope you can use this music to truly minister to your people!
