Refrain:
Look down, O Lord, and have mercy, for we have sinned against thee.
Verses:
1. To thee, high King, Redeemer of all,
weeping we lift our eyes;
hear, Christ, the prayers of thy servants. (Refrain)
2. Right hand of the Father, cornerstone,
path of salvation and gate of heaven,
cleanse the stains of our sins. (Refrain)
3. O God, we pray thy majesty,
lend thy holy ears to our sighs,
mercifully forgive our offenses. (Refrain)
4. To thee we confess committed sin,
with contrite heart we unveil hidden faults;
may thy mercy, Redeemer, forgive. (Refrain)
5. Seized though innocent, led away unresisting,
condemned by false witness in place of the guilty,
Christ keep those whom thou hast redeemed. (Refrain)
