Thy will be done (Prayer of the faithful)

"Thy will be done" is a gentle, harmonised response designed for the Prayer of the Faithful during Mass. Composed by Okoli Kingsley, this short piece gives the choir and congregation a melodic way to unite their intentions after each intercession. Instead of a simple spoken response, singing these lines adds a layer of reverence and warmth to the Universal Prayer.

The text draws directly from the familiar words of the Our Father, asking that God's will be done on earth, while weaving in a direct plea: "As we pray, oh Lord, hear us." The arrangement uses a standard four-part structure, allowing the choir to build a comforting chordal texture. It is brief enough to be sung repeatedly between the reader's petitions, keeping the flow of the liturgy steady while drawing the whole church into a shared moment of petition.
