This Lenten song was used as an entrance at RS’s parish recently.
The text is by Gregory the Great (ie sixth century) and translated by Maurice F. Bell in 1906. It is set to ERHALT UNS, HERR, a sixteenth century German tune with an eighteenth century harmonisation by J.S. Bach.
The text and sheet music are at Hymnary.
