Spare, O Lord, spare thy people: let not thy wrath be kindled against us forever.

Let us bow before the avenging wrath, let us weep before the Judge; let us cry out with words of supplication, let us all speak, falling prostrate:

Spare, O Lord, spare thy people: let not thy wrath be kindled against us forever.

O God, by our wickedness we have offended Your clemency; pour forth on us from above, O forgiving One, Your pardon.

Spare, O Lord, spare thy people: let not thy wrath be kindled against us forever.

Giving us an acceptable time, grant to purify, in the rivers of our tears, the sacrifice of our hearts, enkindled by joyful charity

Spare, O Lord, spare thy people: let not thy wrath be kindled against us forever.

Hear, O benign Creator, our prayers, with lamentations, poured forth during this holy fast of forty days.

Spare, O Lord, spare thy people: let not thy wrath be kindled against us forever.

O beloved Searcher of Hearts, You know the weakness of mortal bodies; show to those returning to You the grace of forgiveness.

Spare, O Lord, spare thy people: let not thy wrath be kindled against us forever.
