¶Lyrics / Text

O piissime Deus meus, O benignissime pater o creator caeli et terrae, et universae conditor creaturae, ne reminiscaris delicta mea, vel Christianorum delinquentium, neque vindictam sumas de peccatis nostris. De derelinquas nos, Domine Deus noster, ne discedas a nobis, et ne tradas in manibus quaerentium animas nostras, sed libera eas de omni angustia, piissime pater.
