Father
whose love
We have wronged by transgression
Christ
who wast nailed for our sins on the tree
Spirit
who givest the grace of repentance;
Hear us
we pray Thee
good Lord.
Jesu
adorable Savior of sinners
Author of penitence
Hope of our souls
Plentiful Fountain of grace and compassion;
Thou who didst empty Thyself of Thy glory
Thou who Thy parents on earth didst obey
Thou who for our sake enduredst temptation
Thou who hast shown us the love of the Father
Meeting with mercy the prodigal son
Sonship and home to the lost one restoring
who once by the well to the sinner
Clearly the sins of her heart did reveal
Leading her gently to faith and repentance
Thou who didst enter the house of Zaccheus
Blessing his faith and accepting his love
When for wrongdoing he made restitution
with the Twelve
The last Passover keeping
Ere on the cross the true Lamb should be slain
Sacrifice offered for all and for ever
alone with the blood-sweat upon Thee
in agony bowed to the earth
Thy will to the Father resigning
from Annas to Caiaphas hurried
Blindfolded
stricken
and falsely accused
Rudely blasphemed
and
Declared a blasphemer
denied by Thine eager Apostle
Whom with a look Thou
Didst straightway recall
Moving him straightway
To tears and contrition;
Thou who wast wounded
To heal our transgression
Lifted on high to draw all men to Thee
There on the cross in Thy majesty reigning
That Thou wouldst draw us
To heartfelt contrition
That Thou wouldst help us our sins to confess
That Thou wouldst grant us
The grace of amendment
That we may bring forth
Works meet for repentance
That we give place to the devil no more
That Thou wouldst lead us
To sure perseverance
