THREE IN ONE GOD HEAR US WE PRAY

"Three In One God Hear Us We Pray" is a short, reverent choral response composed specifically for the Prayer of the Faithful on Trinity Sunday. In the Catholic liturgy, the intercessions are a moment for the congregation to bring their needs before the Lord, and a sung response elevates this communal petition. This piece provides a harmonized way for the choir and congregation to answer the prayer intentions read from the ambo.

The lyrics are simple but deeply theological, addressing each person of the Holy Trinity in turn. The choir sings to God the Father to hear their prayer, asks God the Son to listen, and calls on the Holy Spirit to answer. Finally, the voices unite in acknowledging the mystery of the feast day: "Three in one God hear us we pray."

Written in a straightforward four-part harmony, the melody is gentle and pleading. It is the kind of short, memorable refrain that a choir can easily lead during Mass, allowing the faithful to enter more deeply into the mystery of the Triune God while lifting up the needs of the Church and the world.
