A metaphor is a figure of speech that makes an implicit, implied, or hidden comparison between two things that are unrelated but share some common characteristics. "Mountain of despair" compares a difficult and hopeless - like situation to a mountain, which is an implicit comparison. "This is our hope" is a statement, "pray together" and "sing with new meaning" are actions and do not represent metaphors.
