Lord have mercy ive been brought to tears forgive me im a sinner how disgusting ive become

This is the famous prayer to St Michael the Archangel, sung in Latin plainchant. The text was composed by Pope Leo XIII in the 19th century, while the melody was composed by an oblate of the Benedictine monks of Our Lady of Guadalupe monastery in Silver City, New Mexico. The harmony is by my good friends, Harpa Dei, used with their permission.

St Michael the Archangel Chant

To the best of my knowledge, the melody of this chant, "Attende Domine", comes from a 17th century codex while the text comes from a 10th century Mozarabic codex. It speaks of the penitent's admission of his sin and guilt, without ever giving way to depression or despair, wonderfully captured by the joyful yet peaceful melody. The soul, full of trust, confesses its sins and calmly places itself in hands of its Redeemer, knowing, without a doubt, that He will forgive those who are truly sorry for their sins.

According to the ancient monastic tradition, the Catholic Church intones this psalm at Compline (prayer at the end of the day).

Psalm 91 (Gregorian Chant | acapella)

I wish I was a travelling man,
With hoary hands and a leathery tan,
With all my world upon my back
In a great big, rolled up, hessian sack.

I would walk down leafy country lanes,
And it wouldn't matter if it rains,
For I'd find a field and I'd pitch my tent
And be dry whatever the heavens sent.

And on sandy shores on summer nights,
I'd sit before a campfire bright,
Cooking supper up in a copper pot,
And I'd thank the Lord for what I've got.

And I'd see the dew at the break of day,
And I'd see the stars going on their way,
And I'd feel the seasons ebb and flow,
Like the tide, as on my way I'd go.

Oh, I wish I was a travelling man,
With hoary hands and a leathery tan,
With the whole world waiting at my feet,
And nowhere to go and no one to meet.

And I'd see the dew at the break of day,
And I'd see the stars going on their way,
And I'd feel the seasons ebb and flow,
Like the tide, as on my way I'd go.
