Ingemisco tanquam reus,
Culpa rubet vultus meus:
Supplicanti parce, Deus!

Qui Mariam absolvisti,
Et latronem exaudisti,
Mihi quoque spem dedisti.

Preces meae non sunt dignae
Sed tu bonus fac benigne
Ne perenni cremer igne.

Inter oves locum praesta,
Et ab haedis me sequestra,
Statuens in parte dextra.

Confutatis maledictis,
Flammis acribus addictis,
Voca me cum benedictis!

Oro supplex et acclinis,
Cor contritum quasi cinis,
Gere curam mei finis!

As a culprit I am groaning,

Guilt my face with blushes owning. Spare me, God, my guilt condoning!

Thou who Mary gav'st remission, And didst hear the thief's contrition, Me hast given new ambition.

Vain is all my supplication,
Bring me to Thy new creation,
Save from endless condemnation.

'Mid Thy sheep a place provide me, From the goats afar divide me, At Thy right hand safely hide me.

When the doomed, in consternation, Find in flames their condemnation, Call me unto Thy salvation!

Suppliant to Thee I'm bending, Heart of dust with sorrow rending, Have Thou care of my last ending!

Lacrymosa dies illa, Qua resurget ex favilla Iudicandus homo reus: Huic ergo parce, Deus!

Iesu, pie domine,
Dona eos requie!

Amen.

Sorrowful that day is breaking,
When from ashes man is waking,
And to judgment he is hastening;

Therefore, spare, O God, thy chastening.

Gentle Jesus, Saviour blest,

Grant to them Thy peaceful rest!

Amen.
