Hear Us, Holy Jesus SATB

Hear Us, Holy Jesus is a prayer of petition and exquisite beauty for Lent, Holy Week, or general use (optional text provided). The melody is haunting, chant-like, and beautifully expresses the bittersweetness of the text. There are two contrasting homophonic middle sections, one of which may be sung a cappella. The cello part adds warmth and gentleness. Both texts are poignant and beseeching. Hear Us, Holy Jesus is a stunning moment for worship whenever it is used.
