REFRAIN: Spare, Lord, spare your people:
Be not angry with us forever
 
1. Let us appease His wrath,
Beg for mercy from our Judge;
Cry to Him in supplication,
Let us all prostrate and say:
 
2. By our sins we have offended
against your mercy, O God
Pour forth from above
O pardoning One, your forgiveness
 
3. Having given us this acceptable time,
grant that in the water of our tears
we may purify our heart and that it may become
a joyful sacrifice offered out of love.
 
4. O Merciful Creator, hear
our prayers with our weeping
in this holy time of
forty day fasting.
