¶Lyrics / Text

Deliver us, good Lord, from eternal death in that dreadful day when heaven and earth shall be moved: when thou shalt judge the world by fire. This day is the day of ire and misery: that great day and very bitter. Therefore what would I, most miserable wretch, either say or do, when I shall bring forth no good thing, before so high a judge? O Christ, we desire thee now, have mercy, we beseech thee, which camest to redeem them that were lost. Suffer not those that be redeemed to be lost.
