With a restrained tempo and expressive harmonies, this tender anthem sets an extract from the Book of Common Prayer that implores God to listen to our prayers. Originally published as the sixth movement in Chilcott's Requiem, Thou knowest, Lord contains a new organ accompaniment specially prepared for this leaflet edition. Choirs can alternatively perform this anthem with a small ensemble or orchestral accompaniment, with parts available for hire/rental from the hire library.
