Broomsgrove by James P. Carrell — Lyrics
1. Lamb of God for sinners slain,
To thee I feebly pray,
Heal me of my grief and pain,
O take my sins away.
From this bondage, Lord, release,
No longer let me be oppressed:
Jesus, Master, seal my peace,
And take me to thy breast.

About Broomsgrove
James P. Carrell's Broomsgrove is a sacred work for SATB choir. The music opens with a gentle but urgent plea, reflecting the text's deep personal devotion. The SATB voices weave together to create a rich yet clear texture, supporting the solo lines of the choir director's chosen soloist, or the choir itself. The English lyrics express a profound yearning for spiritual cleansing and release from sin, a prayer for peace and acceptance. The composer's setting emphasizes the heartfelt nature of these words, building with quiet intensity towards moments of hopeful resolution. It is a piece that offers solace and deep reflection.
