God of Mercy and Compassion by the Friends of Catholics At Home.

There are some great hymns for Lent and 'God of Mercy and Compassion' is one among them. A traditional French melody by 18th-century Italian composer Giovanni Battista Pergolesi (1710-1736) and the words of the song were written by a Redemptorist priest named Edmund Vaughan. As we enter Holy Week, Catholics At Home brings to you this hymn that tells of God’s mercy and by Jesus’ death and resurrection we have all been set free.
