CHOIR: The congregation leads the Jesus Prayer, carrying a simple, four-measure melody
throughout the song. Additional voices (also easy) and cantored verses add depth of expression.
The Jesus Prayer begins simply and quietly and builds to the ending, a powerful plea for mercy.
(For brevity, all parts were introduced early on this score.)

REFLECTIVE SETTINGS: Omit the ending. Gradually soften the volume and/or remove voices
until the congregation is lead back to silence.
