Lent Prose

The Lent Prose is a prayer that is sung during Lent.

The Lent Prose may be sung during the distribution of ashes on Ash Wednesday, in procession before the Introit, or elsewhere in the mass on any of the Sundays in Lent.

Attende, Domine

Hear us, O Lord, have mercy upon us: for we have sinned against thee.

To thee, Redeemer, on thy throne of glory: lift we our weeping eyes in holy pleadings: listen, O Jesu, to our supplications.

Hear us, O Lord...

O thou chief Corner-stone, Right Hand of the Father: Way of Salvation, Gate of life celestial: cleanse thou our sinful souls from all defilement.

Hear us, O Lord...

God, we implore thee, in ty glory seated: bow down and hearken to thy weeping children: pity and pardon all our grievous trespasses.

Hear us, O Lord...

Sind oft committed, now we lay before thee: with true contrition, now no more we veil them: grant us, Redeemer, loving absolution.

Hear us, O Lord...

Innocent captive, taken unresisting: falsely accused, and for us sinners sentenced, save us, we pray thee, Jesu, our Redeemer.

Hear us, O Lord...
