Be merciful. Graciously hear us, O Lord.
From all evil, O Lord, deliver them.
From the rigor of Thy justice,
From the power of the devil,.
From long-enduring sorrow,
From cruel flames,
From horrible darkness,
From dreadful weeping and wailing,
Through Thy holy nativity,
Through Thy most sweet name,
Through Thy most profound humiliations,
Through Thy infinite love,
Through Thy bloody sweat,
Through Thy scourging,
Through Thy crowning with thorns,
Through Thy carrying of the cross,
Through Thy most cruel death,
Through Thy five most holy wounds,
In the Day of Judgment, we sinners beseech Thee, hear us.
Thou Who forgavest Magdalene, and didst grant the prayer of the thief, we beseech Thee, hear us.
That Thou wouldst be pleased to deliver the souls of our parents, relations, friends, and benefactors, from the pains of hell,
That Thou wouldst be pleased to have mercy on those of whom no special remembrance is made on earth,
That Thou wouldst be pleased to grant them all the pardon and remission of their sins,
That Thou wouldst be pleased to receive them into the company of the blessed,
King of awesome majesty, we beseech Thee, hear us.
Son of God, we beseech Thee, hear us.
Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world, grant unto them eternal rest.
Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world, grant unto them eternal rest.
Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world, grant unto them rest everlasting.
Christ, hear us. Christ, graciously hear us.
Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy on us.
Lord, have mercy.
From the gate of hell, deliver their souls, O Lord.
O Lord, hear my prayer. And let my cry come unto Thee.
