• Anthem
The Giltspur Singers (conductor: Christopher Maxim) performing Purcell's Thou Knowest Lord at the Temple Church in London
Thou knowest, Lord, the secrets of our hearts.
Shut not thy merciful ears unto our prayers;
But spare us, Lord most holy.
O God most mighty
O holy and most merciful Father
Thou most worthy Judge eternal
Suffer us not at our last hour
For any pains of death to fall from Thee.
Amen.
