One Day God Go Hear My Prayer Lyrics Mp3 Download
Angelo Dearring
1. When we come O Christ to Thee, when we bow adoring knee
Hear our prayer, hear our cry!
By Thy victory and strife, by the merits of your life
Hear our prayer, hear our cry!
Oh by all the pains and woe, suffered once for man below
Listen to our cry -- hear our sacred litany!
2. By Thy helpless infant years, By Thy life of want and tears
Hear our prayer, hear our cry!
By Thy days of sore distress, in the savage wilderness
Hear our prayer, hear our cry!
By the dread mysterious hour, (of the) insulting tempter's power
Listen to our cry -- hear our sacred litany!
3. By the sacred griefs that wept, O'er the grave where Laz'rus slept
Hear our prayer, hear our cry!
By the boding tears which flowed, over Salem's loved abode
Hear our prayer, hear our cry!
By Thy hour of dire despair, By Thy agony of prayer
Listen to our cry -- hear our sacred litany!
4. By the gloom that veiled the skies, Over dreadful sacrifice
Hear our prayer, hear our cry!
By the vault whose dark abode, Held in vain the rising God
Hear our prayer, hear our cry!
O from earth to heav'n restored, Mighty re-ascended Lord!
Listen to our cry -- hear our sacred litany!
REFRAIN
Listen to our prayer! Heart of Jesus, hear!
Make us always yours, and hold us ever near.
Wherever we may go, whatever we may do,
Sacred Heart of Jesus, we place our trust in you.
The lyrics of the song draw inspiration from the traditional and devotional prayers: to the Most Sacred Heart "Jesus, meek and humble of heart, make our hearts like unto Yours." and to the Divine Mercy, "Jesus, I Trust in You." It also draws its inspiration from traditional songs to the Heart of Christ in the local Church of the Philippines.
The first two lines of the refrain "Listen to our prayer! Heart of Jesus, hear! Make us always yours, and hold us ever near" are inspired by the refrain of "O Sacred Heart, O Love Divine": Heart of Jesus, hear, O Heart of Love Divine. Listen to our prayer. Make us always Thine. The text in verse one: Keep us by your side is from the traditional Anima Christi, attributed to Pope John XXII. This song is appropriate as a Communion Song, especially on the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart celebrated on the Friday after the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of the Lord, and on Friday devotions to the Sacred Heart of Jesus as an alternative English song to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Oh, Great Spirit,
Whose voice I hear in the winds
and whose breath gives life to all the world.
Hear me! I need your strength and wisdom.
Let me walk in beauty, and make my eyes
ever hold the red and purple sunset.
Make my hands respect the things you have made
and my ears sharp to hear your voice.
Make me wise so that I may understand
the things you have taught my people.
Let me learn the lessons you have hidden
in every leaf and rock.
Help me remain calm and strong in the
face of all that comes towards me.
Help me find compassion without
empathy overwhelming me.
I seek strength, not to be greater than my brother,
but to fight my greatest enemy: myself.
Make me always ready to come to you
with clean hands and straight eyes.
So when life fades, as the fading sunset,
my spirit may come to you without shame.
- Translated by Lakota Sioux Chief Yellow Lark in 1887
The garden is rich with diversity
With plants of a hundred families
In the space between the trees
With all the colours and fragrances.
Basil, mint and lavender,
Great Mystery keep my remembrance pure,
Raspberry, Apple, Rose,
Great Mystery fill my heart with love,
Dill, anise, tansy,
Holy winds blow in me.
Rhododendron, zinnia,
May my prayer be beautiful
May my remembrance O Great Mystery
be as incense to thee
In the sacred grove of eternity
As I smell and remember
The ancient forests of earth.
Hey! Learn to hear my feeble voice.
At the center of the sacred hoop
You have said that I should make the tree to bloom.
With tears running, O Great Spirit, my Grandfather,
With running eyes I must say
The tree has never bloomed.
Here I stand, and the tree is withered.
Again, I recall the great vision you gave me.
It may be that some little root of the sacred tree still lives.
Nourish it then
That it may leaf
And bloom
And fill with singing birds!
Hear me, that the people may once again
Find the good road
And the shielding tree.

Wakan Tanka, Great Mystery,
teach me how to trust
my heart,
my mind,
my intuition,
my inner knowing,
the senses of my body,
the blessings of my spirit.
Teach me to trust these things
so that I may enter my Sacred Space
and love beyond my fear,
and thus Walk in Balance
with the passing of each glorious Sun.

Everything the power of the world does is done in a circle.
The sky is round and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball
and so are all the stars. The wind, in its greatest power, whirls.
Birds make their nests in circles, for theirs is the same religion as ours.
The sun comes forth and goes down again in a circle. The moon
does the same and both are round. Even the seasons form a great
circle in their changing and always come back again to where they were.
Begin facing EAST- This is where the sun comes up, and so the direction of new beginnings, hope, promise, and potential. Pray that you may be open to receiving these gifts this day.* Each turn is a quarter turn to your right.
Turn SOUTH - This is the direction of warmth, growth, fertility (!), also known as creativity and productivity. In addition, this direction represents faith, trust, and faithfulness in relationships. Pray for these things this day.
Turn WEST - This is the direction where the sun goes down. Thus, it is the direction of rest, of our dream lives, and of closure and endings that need to take place in order for there to be new beginnings. Pray for these things this day.
Turn NORTH - This is the direction of the cold, of winds, of strength, courage, fortitude, might, single-mindedness, focus, clarity and purpose. Pray for these things this day.
Turn back to the EAST - and turn UPWARD. For Native Americans this is the direction of Father Sky. Pray that your heart,
mind, soul, and spirit will not forget to look upward this day, to the One who is so much greater than we are.
Turn DOWNWARD - and touch our Mother, the earth. Pray that everything you do this day will be in honor and reverence of our Mother Earth.
Turn INWARD- Place your hand on your heart and pray that all that you do this day will be true to the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Christ, the Holy Spirit who dwells within you.
The Hear Our Prayer trilogy from Mark Patterson is a wonderful resource for your children's choir or small adult choir. This trilogy includes short anthems for Ash Wednesday, Lent, and Holy Week. The first simple prayer anthem can be sung as a partner song and used with the congregation. The second anthem is a prayer for God's guidance and strength. The final piece sets the hymn text Beneath the Cross of Jesus to a beautiful new melody - a prayer for God's grace. A must-have for your choral library!
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy,
do you hear what I hear
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy,
do you hear what I hear
A song, a song, high above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea
According to Wikipedia, "Do You Hear What I Hear?" tells a story loosely based upon the story of the nativity of Jesus as told in the Gospel of Matthew, incorporating fragments of the annunciation to the shepherds from the Gospel of Luke, though Jesus is never explicitly mentioned. A "night wind" tells a lamb of a star, following which the lamb tells his young shepherd that he also hears a loud song. They are each led to a "mighty king," whom they tell of a child in the cold and ask to bring the child silver and gold (much as the Biblical Magi, which in tradition with prophecies in the Book of Isaiah and Psalm 72 are often characterized as kings, did with their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh). The king proclaims a prayer of peace and announces that the child will "bring goodness and light."
Nice original tune with that classic prayer meeting feel. Would like to hear your voice better amplified on most of your recordings but I understand you are resigned to the lo-fi approach here, and it works fine. Durge
