Absterge Domine

Language: Latin

Available translation(s): ENG

Absterge Domine delicta mea, 
quae inscienter iuvenis feci, 
et ignosce poenitenti, 
nam tu es Deus meus, 
tibi soli fidit anima mea. 
Tu es salus mea. 
Dolorem meum testantur lachrimae meae. 
Sis memor Domine bonae voluntatis tuae. 
Nunc exaudi preces meas 
et serviet per aevum tibi spiritus meus. 
Amen.

Wipe away o Lord

Language: English after the Latin

Wipe away o Lord my sins, 
which unknowingly I committed when a young man, 
and forgive me, who am penitent; 
for you are my God, 
in you alone my soul trusts. 
You are my salvation. 
My tears bear witness to my grief. 
Remember o Lord your good will. 
Now hear my prayers 
and my spirit will serve you for ever. 
Amen.
