The plainsong responsory
Hear us, O Lord (
Attende Domine) is traditionally sung during Lent and known in the English liturgy as the ‘Lent Prose’. It is to be found in the
Liber usualis (in its Latin version) as one of the
cantus varii, and appears in an English translation in the
English Hymnal (1906), having been adapted by W J Birkbeck.
