A Gregorian Chant for Lent
The famous Lenten hymn "Attende Domine" is the cry of the sinner who calls unto God to receive his mercy. A monument of the liturgy of the Catholic Church.
ATTENDE DOMINE
(Penitential Chant)
Hear us, O Lord, and have mercy, because we have sinned against Thee.
Hear us, O Lord, and have mercy, because we have sinned against Thee.
To Thee, highest King, Redeemer of all, do we lift up our eyes in weeping: Hear, O Christ, the prayers of your servants.
Hear us, O Lord, and have mercy, because we have sinned against Thee.
Right hand of the Father, corner-stone, way of salvation, gate of heaven,wash away our stains of sin.
Hear us, O Lord, and have mercy, because we have sinned against Thee.
We beseech Thee, God, in Thy great majesty: Hear our groans with Thy holy ears: calmly forgive our crimes.
Hear us, O Lord, and have mercy, because we have sinned against Thee.
To Thee we confess our sins admitted with a contrite heart We reveal the things hidden: By Thy kindness, O Redeemer, overlook them.
Hear us, O Lord, and have mercy, because we have sinned against Thee.
The Innocent, seized, not refusing to be led; condemned by false witnesses because of impious men Christ, keep safe those whom Thou hast redeemed.
Hear us, O Lord, and have mercy, because we have sinned against Thee.
Beautiful voices lifted up to God.
