¶Lyrics / Text

Emendemus in melius quae ignoranter peccavimus; ne subito praeoccupati die mortis, quaeramus spatium poenitentiae, et invenire non possimus. Attende, Domine, et miserere; quia peccavimus tibi. Adjuva nos, Deus salutaris noster, et propter honorem nominis tui libera nos. Peccavimus cum patribus nostris; injuste egimus, iniquitatem fecimus. Attende Domine, et miserere, quia peccavimus tibi. (Ps. 78:9; 105:6; Matins Responsory, First Sunday of Lent; cf. Esther 13, Joel 2)
