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;
Hear us, we pray Thee, good Lord.

Thou who didst empty Thy­self of Thy glo­ry,
Thou who Thy parents on earth didst obey,
Thou who for our sake enduredst temptation,
Hear us, we pray Thee, good Lord.

Thou who hast shown us the love of the Fa­ther,
Meeting with mercy the prodigal son,
Sonship and home to the lost one restoring,
Hear us, we pray Thee, good Lord.

Jesu, who once by the well to the sinner
Clearly the sins of her heart did reveal,
Leading her gently to faith and repentance,
Hear us, we pray Thee, good Lord.

Thou who didst enter the house of Zaccheus,
Blessing his faith and accepting his love,
When for wrongdoing he made restitution,
Hear us, we pray Thee, good Lord.

Christ, with the Twelve
The last Passover keeping,
Ere on the cross the true Lamb should be slain,
Sacrifice offered for all and for ever,
Hear us, we pray Thee, good Lord.

Jesu, alone with the blood-sweat upon Thee,
Jesu, in agony bowed to the earth,
Jesu, Thy will to the Fa­ther resigning,
Hear us, we pray Thee, good Lord.

Jesu, from Annas to Caiaphas hurried,
Blindfolded, stricken, and falsely accused,
Rudely blasphemed, and
Declared a blasphemer,
Hear us, we pray Thee, good Lord.

Jesu, denied by Thine eager Apostle,
Whom with a look Thou
Didst straightway recall,
Moving him straightway
To tears and contrition;
Hear us, we pray Thee, good Lord.

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,
Hear us, we pray Thee, good Lord.

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,
Hear us, we pray Thee, good Lord.

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,
Hear us, we pray Thee, good Lord.
