    Let not the sword of vengeance smite me,
    Though righteous thine anger,
    O Lord! Shield me in danger, O regard me!
    On Thee, Lord, alone will I call. O Divine Redeemer!
    I pray Thee, grant me pardon,
    and remember not, remember not my sins!
    Forgive me, O Divine Redeemer!

    Come to mine aid, O Lord!
    Haste Thee, Lord, haste to help me!
    Hear my cry! Save me Lord in Thy mercy;
    Come and save me O Lord Save, in the day of retribution,
    From Death shield Thou me, O my God!
    O Divine Redeemer, have mercy! Help me, my Saviour!
