Hear our prayer, O Lord our God by Daniel Read — Lyrics
Hear our prayer, O Lord our God,
Give ear unto our supplications.
Enter not into judgment with Thy people, O Lord,
For in Thy sight can no man living be justified.
O Lord, we have sinned against Thee,
Our sins are exceeding great,

About Hear our prayer, O Lord our God
Daniel Read’s anthem Hear our prayer, O Lord our God opens with a direct address to the Almighty, the SATB choir delivering the plea with a sincerity that builds towards the profound confession of sin. The music flows through moments of intense supplication, reflecting the gravity of the text’s journey from judgment to mercy. The composer’s setting, in English, allows the choir to articulate the deeply human struggle for grace, culminating in a powerful re-affirmation of the prayer for divine attention. This is a deeply devotional anthem that offers a space for reflection on repentance and the enduring hope found in God's mercy.
