O Merciful Redeemer Chant
This is a "Gregorian Chant" in the truest sense, because the latin text of this chant is attributed to St. Gregory the Great himself. The chant tune is set to Gregorian Mode 2. The English translation of this text by Benedictine Monks is a perfect sung prayer for the season of Lent. As you listen, the chant invites you to a closer communion with God.
