Perhaps the most characteristic hymn of Holy Week, in a setting by Palestrina:
“To Thee our fathers cried…”
The Lenten responsory ‘Media vita’, sung by the Benedictine monks of Silverstream Priory, County Meath, Ireland:
In the midst of life we are in death; from whom shall we seek help, save Thee, O Lord? Who for our sins art justly angered. * Holy God, Holy mighty One, Moly merciful Saviour, do not hand us over to the bitterness of death.
(Verse 1): In Thee our fathers hoped; they hoped, and Thou hast liberated them. * Holy God…
(Verse 2): To Thee our fathers cried; they cried and were not confounded. * Holy God…
Gloria Patri…* Holy God…
