by Charles Gounod (1818 - 1893)

Repentir
Language: French (Français) 
Ah ! ne repousse pas mon âme pécheresse
Entends mes cris et vois mon repentir.
À mon aide Seigneur hâte-toi d'accourir
Et prends pitié de ma détresse !
De la justice vengeresse
Détourne les coups, mon Sauveur !
Ô Divin Rédempteur !
Pardonne à ma faiblesse,
Dans le secret des nuits je répandrai mes pleurs
Je meurtrirai ma chair sous le poids du cilice
Et mon cœur altéré du sanglant sacrifice
Bénira de ta main les clémentes rigueurs.
