Audi benigne Conditor by Johann Stadlmayr — Lyrics
Audi benigne conditor,
nostras preces cum fletibus,
in hoc sacro jejunio,
fusas quadragenario.
Scrutator alme cordium,
infirma tu scis virium,
ad te reversis exhibe
remissionis gratiam.
Multum quidem peccavimus,
sed pace confitentibus,
ad nominis laudem tui,

About Audi benigne Conditor
This setting of Audi benigne Conditor by Johann Stadlmayr is a sacred hymn for the liturgical office, sung in Latin. The text is a prayer for leniency during the solemn period of Lent. It petitions the 'kind creator' to hear the pleas and tears shed during this forty-day fast, acknowledging human weakness and asking for forgiveness for those who repent. The choir of four parts (SATB) would convey the supplication for mercy and the desire for a contrite heart, purified through abstinence. The hymn concludes with a plea to the Trinity for the Lenten observance to yield spiritual fruit.
