“Father, Hear Our Humble Voices” is the second track of the fifth movement – entitled “Wedding” – of Paul McCartney’s Liverpool Oratorio, released in 1991.

V: WEDDING. A few years later. As Shanty muses on the top of a bus, Mary Dee is drawn to him. She soothes his self-doubts and calms his impatient ambitions and they pledge their love and marry.
“Liverpool Oratorio” liner notes

Lyrics

BOYS

Father, hear our humble voices,

We will praise Thee all our days.

Cleanse our sins, release our minds.

We will be together.

PREACHER and WOMEN'S CHORUS

Lord, deliver Thy salvation

Unto those that bless Thy name.

FULL CHORUS

Let them live in harmony,

SOLO QUARTET

With Thy Holy Spirit.
