Notes:
Lyrics:
Refrain: Have mercy on us, Lord, Jesus our Savior:
Burdened with sin, we implore you.
1. O great Redeemer, King of all creation,
As we are sinners, we deserve your judgment:
Jesus, be gracious; hear our prayer of sorrow.
2. Exalted Savior, Cornerstone of Heaven,
Gate of salvation, Way to life immortal:
Send forth your Spirit; heal your humbled people!
3. We beg you, Jesus, God immense in power:
Listen in kindness as we ask forgiveness:
Though sin condemns us, you are strong to save us!
4. We stand convicted, owning our offenses;
Guilty before you, yet we seek your pardon:
O gentle Savior, great is your compassion!
5. Remember, Jesus, you gave all to save us;
Dying for sinners, you endured the Passion:
Savior, immortal, grant your gift of freedom!
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.
