Graciously Hear Us

"Graciously Hear Us" is a gentle, straightforward response designed for the Prayer of the Faithful. When the lector finishes an intercession, the choir and congregation need a melody that feels like a natural continuation of that prayer. Azuine-Uche Bruno provides exactly that with this short, earnest piece.

The soprano line carries a simple plea, asking the Lord to hear our prayers and grant us peace, while the lower voices weave in their own echoing responses. It is brief enough to be sung repeatedly after each petition without dragging, yet harmonically warm enough to keep the congregation engaged. This is the kind of functional, reverent music that anchors the Liturgy of the Word on a Sunday morning.
