The words
Verse 1
Hear the voice and prayer of thy servants, of thy servants, of thy servants, that they make before thee this day: that thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, night and day, ever toward this place, ever toward this place, of which thou hast said, 'My name shall be there, my name shall be there, my name shall be there'; and when thou hear'st have mercy on them, and when thou hear'st have mercy on them, and when thou hear'st have mercy on them. them.
Free to sing: Thomas Tallis died in 1585.
