Kind Maker of the world by Charles H. Giffen — Lyrics
Kind Maker of the world, O hear the fervent prayer, with many a tear
Poured forth by all the penitent who keep this holy fast of Lent!
Each heart is manifest to Thee; thou knowest our infirmity;
Now we repent and seek Thy face; grant unto us Thy pardoning grace.
Spare us, O Lord, who now confess our sins and all our wickedness,

About Kind Maker of the world
Charles H. Giffen’s Kind Maker of the world opens with a gentle, flowing musical character that perfectly suits the devotional text. Written for SATB choir, this English hymn expresses penitential prayer during the season of Lent. The music supports the singers’ plea for forgiveness and spiritual discipline, with phrases that build in intensity as the choir asks for the Trinity’s grace. The harmonic language is direct and sincere, offering a straightforward yet moving setting of the hymn’s message of repentance, seeking God’s face, and ultimately finding strength and praise through the Lenten fast.
