Organs - Convent and the Church of the Capuchin Friars Minor (OFM), Krakow - Paweł Piotrowski 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, have mercy upon us: for we have sinned against thee. O thou chief cornerstone, right hand of the Father: way of salvation, gate of life celestial: cleanse thou our sinful souls from all defilement. Hear us, O Lord, have mercy upon us: for we have sinned against thee. God, we implore thee, in thy glory seated: bow down and hearken to thy weeping children: pity and pardon all our grievous trespasses. Hear us, O Lord, have mercy upon us: for we have sinned against thee. Sins 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, have mercy upon us: for we have sinned against thee. Innocent captive, taken unresisting: falsely accused, and for us sinners sentenced, save us, we pray thee, Jesu, our Redeemer. Hear us, O Lord, have mercy upon us: for we have sinned against thee. Attende Domine, a 10th century Mozarabic penitential hymn of supplication traditionally sung during Lent. The Mozarabic Rite is an ancient rite of the Church that was used throughout much of the Iberian Peninsula up until the 11th century and continues to be used in the Capilla Muzárabe in the Toledo Cathedral, the Chapel of San Salvador at Talavera, and the Old Cathedral of Salamanca. Draw Near, O Lord is set to the traditional melody of Attende Domine, as first published in the Paris Processional of 1824. In the Liturgy of the Hours it is used during Lent.
