[Litany] Even now, before the last door closes, Rend your heart, rend your heart, Turn with the heart, not the garment alone. Let the hidden fiber come apart. Fast without theater, weep without posing, Rend your heart, rend your heart, Bring every chamber to the mercy throne. Let the hidden fiber come apart. [Verse 2] Gracious and merciful, slow to anger still, Great in kindness beyond our will. Blow the trumpet, gather the elders, Bridegroom and bride leave the private room. [Refrain] Rend your heart, rend your heart, Let the hidden fiber come apart. [Bridge] Between porch and altar the priests are weeping: Spare thy people; do not give them to scorn. Even now is not a promise of delay, It is mercy opening one honest way. [Final Chorus] Rend your heart, rend your heart, Let the hidden fiber come apart. It is mercy opening one honest way.
