Text and translations

Latin text Domine, quando veneris judicare terram, ubi me abscondam a vultu irae tuae? Quia peccavi nimis in vita mea. Commissa mea pavesco et ante te erubesco, Dum veneris judicare, noli me condemnare, Quia peccavi nimis in vita mea.

English translation O Lord, when thou comest to judge the world, where shall I hide myself from the face of thy wrath? For I have sinned exceedingly in my life. I dread my sins, I blush before thee: When thou comest to judge, do not condemn me, For I have sinned exceedingly in my life. Translation by St Ann choir
