Audi nos, Rex Christe

This anonymous Latin processional song dates from an eleventh-century manuscript at Clermont. It was first published by Edélestand du Méril in Poésies Populaires Latines du Moyen Âge (Paris, 1847, pp. 56:58). The text represents a medieval pilgrim song, suited for use as a church processional, and was reprinted by Daniel, John Mason Neale in Hymni Ecclesiae (1851), and John Ellerton in his notes on Church Hymns (1881).

The principal English translation in common usage is John Mason Neale's "O Christ, our King, give ear," first published in his Mediaeval Hymns (1851) in eight stanzas of three lines with chorus. An expanded version arranged as a Rogationtide processional in seven stanzas of six lines appears in The Hymnary (1872, No. 299) beginning "O blessed Trinity."
