Full Lyrics
REFRAIN
Atténde Dómine et miserére
quia peccávimus tibi.
VERSE 1
Ad te, Rex summe, ómnium redémptor,
óculos nostros sublevámus flentes:
exáudi, Christe, supplicántum preces.
VERSE 2
Dextera Patris, lapis angularis,
via salutis, ianua caelestis,
ablue nostri maculas delicti.
VERSE 3
Rogamus, Deus, tuam maiestatem:
auribus sacris gemitus exaudi:
crimina nostra placidus indulge.
VERSE 4
Tibi fatemur crimina admissa:
contrito corde pandimus occulta:
tua, Redemptor, pietas ignoscat.
VERSE 5
Innocens captus, nec repugnans ductus;
testibus falsis pro impiis damnatus
quos redemisti, tu conserva, Christe.
ENGLISH CHORUS
Hear us, O Lord, and have mercy upon us,
for we have sinned against thee.
ENGLISH VERSE 1
King high exalted, all the world's redeemer,
To thee thy children lift their eyes with weeping;
Christ, we implore thee, hear our supplication.
ENGLISH VERSE 2
Right hand of Godhead, headstone of the corner
Path of salvation, gate of heaven's Kingdom,
Cleanse thou thy people stained with their transgression.
ENGLISH VERSE 3
We thy eternal majesty entreating,
Make lamentation in thy holy hearing;
Graciously grant to our sins indulgence.
ENGLISH VERSE 4
Humbly confess we, who have sinned against thee,
All our misdoings, hidden now no longer
May thy redeeming mercy find us pardon.
ENGLISH VERSE 5
Led away captive, guiltless, unresisting
Brought by false witness unto death for sinners,
Christ, do thou keep us whom thy blood hath ransomed.
