Description

For SATB Choir (with optional accompaniment). Dr Roberts has given this Dowland lute piece  (Weepe you no more sad fountaines) a liturgical life with his original text. Perfect for Lent or anytime a sublime polyphonic prayer is needed. (And in our opinion ... that's anytime!)

Lyrics

Lord, hear our supplication,
Regard our petition,
Thou who dost grant salvation.
to those who love thy son.
'Neath thy wings hide us, Lord, Until our hearts restored,
Bow down before thee,
Praise and adore thee.
Glory to the Creator, Eternally sing praise,
Glory be ever greater, Rejoice through endless days.
