Antiphon:
We cry to you, O Lord, and beg your mercy,
For we are sinners against you.

O King exalted, Savior of all nations,
See how our grieving lifts our eyes to heaven;
Hear us, Redeemer, as we beg forgiveness.
We cry to you, O Lord, and beg your mercy,
For we are sinners against you.

Might of the Father, Keystone of God's temple,
Way of salvation, gate of heaven's glory
Sin has enslaved us, free your sons from bondage.
We cry to you, O Lord, and beg your mercy,
For we are sinners against you.

We pray you, O God, "throned in strength and splendor.
Hear from your kingdom this our song of sorrow
Show us your mercy, pardon our offences
We cry to you, O Lord, and beg your mercy,
For we are sinners against you.

Humbly confessing countless sins committed,
Our hearts are broken, leaving bare their secrets,
Cleanse us, Redeemer, boundless in Compassion.
We cry to you, O Lord, and beg your mercy,
For we are sinners against you.

Innocent captive, unresisting victim,
Liars denounced you, sentenced for the guilty:
Once you redeemed us, now renew us, Jesus.
We cry to you, O Lord, and beg your mercy,
For we are sinners against you.
