    LYRICS:
    Ah, turn me not away, receive me though unworthy.
    Ah, turn me not away, receive me though unworthy.
    Hear Thou my cry, hear Thou my cry,
    Behold, Lord, my distress!
    Answer me from Thy throne,
    Haste Thee, Lord, to mine aid!
    Thy pity show in my deep anguish, Thy pity show in my deep anguish.
    Let not the sword of vengeance smite me,
    Though righteous Thine anger, O Lord!
    Shield me in danger, O regard me!
    On Thee, Lord, alone will I call!
    O divine Redeemer, O divine Redeemer!
    I pray thee grant me pardon, And remember not
    Remember not my sins!
    Forgive me!
    O divine Redeemer! I pray Thee, grant me pardon
    And remember not, remember not, O Lord, my sins!
    Night gathers round my soul
    Fearful, I cry to Thee,
    Come to mine aid, O Lord!
    Haste Thee, Lord, haste to help me!
    Hear my cry, hear my cry
    Save me, Lord in Thy mercy;
    Hear my cry, hear my cry!
    Come and save me, O Lord!
    O divine Redeemer! O divine Redeemer!
    I pray Thee, grant me pardon, and remember not
    Remember not, O Lord, my sins!
    Save in the day of retribution
    From death shield Thou me, O my God!
    O divine Redeemer, have mercy!
    Help me my Savior!

    This video came up when I Googled "Gounod O, Divine Redeemer," because I will be playing the accompaniment for a Vanderbilt opera student soon. Anthony Leon's performance is a beautiful sermon that left me in tears and prayers of my own. I am sure Charles Gounod would have been moved to tears himself. I know this because I am married to a composer. And I know how emotional it is for him when he hears someone perform his music with the talent and beauty and feeling that Anthony Leon does here. This performance is just sheer perfection. Now I am subscribed to the account and can't wait to hear more. Thank you so much for sharing your gift with all of us!

    Thanks for posting this; it brings back memories. I accompanied my father, a baritone, at the piano who sang this years ago in our LDS sacrament meeting. When we got to the "have mercy" climax at the end, all eyes were on him. Little children in the pews stopped cooing and put down their toys and coloring crayons to look up and listen as a hush washed over the congregation. It was quite a memorable experience. This is such a powerful piece.

    This is truly one of the very best interpretations of this very challenging gem. I appreciate the nuance, shading, sensitivity, and overall expression, not only on the part of this lyric tenor, but also on the part of the organist.

    Love this so much! Listened to it for about 10 times without stopping. Wonderful tone, diction, and very expressive! At times I heard a bit of a "cry" in your voice. Use that, especially when saying "hear my cry" and "my anguish". You have all the tools, Anthony. Thank you for sharing your gift with all of us!

    The organ and vocals blend together seamlessly. I can imagine the praise given to God in heaven being like this because it is done from the heart. It is a psalm from the depths of the heart and brings tears because of God's great goodness and mercy. This is skillfully performed by a very gifted musician and a very gifted vocalist who are using their talents to glorify God.

    I bet the organ accompaniment plays a role in the compelling result of your very moving version. Being an insatiable just like many, I wonder how this song would sound if you sang it in the original french & you were a fluent speaker of course. Beautiful singing.
