Antiphon:
Have mercy Lord,
Cleanse me from all my sins

Have mercy on me God, in your kindness
In your compassion blot out my offence.
O wash me more and more from my guilt and
Cleanse me from my sin.

My offenses truly I know all;
My sin is always before me.
Against you, you alone, have I sinned;
What is evil in your sight I have done.

Indeed you Love truth in the heart;
Then in the secret of my heart teach me wisdom.
O purify me, then I shall be clean;
O wash me, I shall be forever white.

A pure heart create for me, O God,
Put a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me away from your presence,
Nor deprive me of your holy spirit.

O rescue me, God, my helper,
And my tongue shall ring out your goodness.
O Lord, open my lips, and
My mouth shall declare your praise.

Give glory to the Father almighty,
To his Son, Jesus Christ, the Lord,
To the Spirit who dwell in our hearts,
Both now and for ever. Amen
