Lyrics:

Refrain: Hear us, almighty Lord. Show us your mercy. Sinners we stand here before you.

1. Jesus our Savior, Lord of all the nations,
Christ our Redeemer, hear the prayers we offer.
Spare us and save us. Comfort us in sorrow.

2. Word of the Father, keystone of God's building,
source of our gladness, gateway to the Kingdom,
Free us in mercy from the sins that bind us.

3. God of compassion, Lord of might and splendor,
graciously listen. Hear our cries of anguish.
Touch us and heal us where our sins have wounded.

4. Humbly confessing that we have offended,
stripped of illusions, naked in our sorrow,
pardon, Lord Jesus, those your blood has ransomed.

5. Innocent captive, you were led to slaughter.
Sentenced by sinners when they brought false witness.
Keep from damnation those your death has rescued.

Refrain: Attende Domine, et miserere, quia peccavimus tibi.

1. Ad te Rex summe, omnium Redemptor,
oculos nostros sublevamus flentes:
exaudi, Christe, supplicantum preces.

2. Dextera Patris, lapis angularis,
via salutis, ianua caelestis,
ablue nostri maculas delicti.

3. Rogamus, Deus, tuam maiestatem:
auribus sacris gemitus exaudi:
crimina nostra placidus indulge.

4. Tibi fatemur crimina admissa:
contrito corde pandimus occulta:
tua, Redemptor, pietas ignoscat.

5. Innocens captus, nec repugnans ductus;
testibus falsis pro impiis damnatus
quos redemisti, tu conserva, Christe.
