about

A song about the 13th century Hermit and Saint, St Robert of Knaresborough. In his time, St. Robert became renowned across Europe, with pilgrims coming to see him from far and wide. Using traditional Gregorian prayer lyrics, this is an imaginary song that might be sung by St Robert and his followers.

lyrics

A Woodland Prayer (Hear us Oh Lord)
(Music Tim Hunter © 2020, Lyrics: traditional)

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.

Hear us, O Lord, and have mercy, because we have sinned against Thee.

Right hand of the Father
Our corner-stone,
way of salvation,
gate of heaven,
Hear, O Christ ,wash away our
stains of sin.

Hear us, O Lord, and have mercy, because we have sinned against Thee.
Hear us, O Lord, Hear us, O Lord
Hear us, O Lord, and have mercy, because we have sinned against Thee.
