Following Lead me, O Lord, a second invocation, Prevent us, O Lord, was originally published in the RSCM service book At All Times and All Places. Prevent us, O Lord has an intensely atmospheric feel. A peaceful opening gradually builds in tension until the words We may glorify are reached. This significant phrase is then repeated several times, with ever-increasing suspense, over a triadic organ part. These repetitions finally resolve into a peaceful conclusion that evokes a sense of comfort and renewed determination.
