Emendemus in melius quae ignoranter peccavimus, ne subito praeoccupati die mortis queramus spatium poenitentiae et invenire non possumus. Attende, Domine, et miserere, quia peccavimus tibi. Adiuva nos, Deus salutaris noster, et propter honorem nominis tui libera nos.

Laten wij verbeteren Datgene waarin wij onwetend gezondigd hebben, Opdat wij niet, op een dag gegrepen door de dood, Gelegenheid tot boete zoeken En haar niet kunnen vinden. Sla acht op ons, Heer, en heb medelijden, Want wij hebben tegen u gezondigd. Help ons, God onze redder, En verlos ons, tot eer van uw naam.
