Sole hope of all the world and Lord
Bestower of the great reward,
Receive the pray'rs thy servants raise
Mixt with meet psalms and chants of praise.

And though our conscience doth proclaim
Our deep transgressions and our shame,
Cleanse us, O God, we humbly plead,
from sins of thought and word and deed.

Our sins remember them no more,
Forgive thy mercy Can restore,
So take upon thee, Lord, our care,
That pure in heart we make our pray’r.

Therefore, accept, O Lord, this tide
Of fast which thou hast sanctified,
That we may reach by mystic ways
The sacraments of Paschal days

May he who is the threefold Lord
On us confer this high reward,
In whom so long as worlds abide
One only God is glorified.
