Composed by Blair H. Smith (text); Hugh Levey (composer). This edition: pdf, streaming. 21st Century, Christian, Easter, Holiday, Praise & Worship. 12 pages. Woodwindly.com #1178921. Published by woodwindly.com (A0.1609064).
Father Forgive Them (Father Forgive Us) is a collaboration between composer and arranger Hugh Levey and poet Blair H. Smith. It is an anthem suitable for both worship and concert settings, particularly at Easter (Good Friday). The text takes its inspiration from two Biblical passages:
Father forgive them, for they know now what they do. - Luke 23:34
Stand in awe and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. - Psalm 4:4
“Father, forgive them” was the first of the Seven Last Words of Christ from the Cross. This text considers the mercy shown by Christ in these words, at His hour of distress. They prompt a reflection on our own past actions and their implications. If even those who crucified Him were forgiven, there is hope for us all. In the last verse, “them” in “Father Forgive Them” refers to our sins. The contemplative music reflects this sense of sadness and distress, with moments of forgiveness and hope.
The vocal parts have mostly stepwise movement with straightforward intervals and some suspensions, so it should be within the capabilities of most SATB choirs. It starts with unaccompanied basses singing “Father forgive them” as a prayer (or plainchant), building up to the full unaccompanied choir, and then the piano joins in. If you have limited forces, the tenors can join the basses for the opening four bars (measures). If necessary, the accompanist can double the vocal parts rather than use the written piano part.
Duration: 3 minutes 30 seconds.
