Pardon, we pray

Language: English after the Latin

O Lord, pardon we pray the soul of your servant NN,
from all the chains of sin;
That in the glory of the resurrection, he may live again,
revived, among your holy chosen ones.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
May he rest in peace. Amen.

Note for line 1: Josquin may have written this for Obrecht, but the received text allows other names to be substituted for "NN" above.
