| Chorister's
Confession Almighty and most
merciful Conductor,
We have erred and strayed from thy beat
like lost sheep;
We have followed too much the intonations
and tempi of our hearts;
We have offended against those dynamic
markings,
We have left unsung those notes which we
ought to have sung,
And we have sung those notes which we
ought not to have sung,
And there is not support in us,
But thou, O Conductor, have mercy upon us
miserable singers:
Succour the chorally challenged;
Restore thou them that need sectionals;
Spare thou them that have pencils;
Pardon our mistakes, and have faith that
hereafter
we will follow thy directions and sing
together in perfect harmony.
anon.
