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.
