Latin text
- Emendemus in melius
- quae ignoranter peccavimus:
- ne subito praeoccupati
- die mortis quaeramus
- spatium poenitentiae,
- et invenire non possimus.
- Attende Domine, et miserere:
- quia peccavimus tibi.
- Peccavimus cum patribus nostris,
- iniuste egimus, iniquitatem fecimus.
- Attende Domine, et miserere:
- quia peccavimus tibi.
English translation
by Mick Swithinbank
- Let us mend our ways and put behind us
- the sins we have thoughtlessly committed:
- lest we in sudden concern
- on the day of our death
- seek an opportunity for repentance
- and cannot find one.
- Hear us, Lord, and have mercy on us
- for we have sinned against you.
- We have sinned like our fathers,
- we have acted unjustly and done wrong.
- Hear us, Lord, and have mercy on us:
- for we have sinned against you.
