Hear Our Prayer by Joseph Barnby — Lyrics
1. Hear our prayer, hear our prayer,
Father we come to Thee,
Guide O Saviour, guide,
Out of life's raging sea.
Thou who canst save from ev'ry woe,
Let thy healing spirit flow,
Give us thy grace to free,
While we humble ourselves
in thankful prayer.

About Hear Our Prayer
Joseph Barnby's anthem Hear Our Prayer offers a heartfelt plea for divine guidance and solace. The text expresses a deep yearning for salvation, asking for the Saviour's help in navigating life's challenges and for the 'healing spirit' to flow and grant grace. It speaks of weariness and the desire for rest, seeking to be led towards a heavenly reward. The SATB voicing ensures a rich and resonant delivery, making this a powerful anthem for congregational singing, reflecting on faith and seeking spiritual comfort in times of trial.
