New Hymn "Aude Votum"

Thoughts? Both text and tune are original. It is loosely inspired by psalms 51 and 118. Harsh critics welcome.

I think that both text and tune are quite nice.
Putting the accented syllable of 'off'red' (stanza 5) on the unaccented quaver is somewhat jarring or awkward.
The third line of the tune could have been lifted right out ofanother tunewhich I can'tidentify at this momentCaithness.
Not that you did this deliberately - it happens accidentally all the time and there's no need to change it.
