Charles H. Giffen - Psalm 51 for Ash Wednesday-ABC - текст песни (слова)

Miserére, Dómine, quia peccávimus. 
  R. Be merciful, O Lord, for we have sinned.
 
 Have mercy on me, O God, in your goodness;
     in the greatness of your compassion
         wipe out my offense.
 Thoroughly wash me from my guilt
     and of my sin cleanse me.
 
 R. Be merciful, O Lord, for we have sinned.
 
 For I acknowledge my offense,
     and my sin is before me always:
 "Against you only have I sinned,
     and done what is evil in your sight."
 
 R. Be merciful, O Lord, for we have sinned.
 
 A clean heart create for me, O God,
     and a steadfast spirit renew within me.
 Cast me not out from your presence,
     and your Holy Spirit take not from me.
 
 R. Be merciful, O Lord, for we have sinned.
 
 Give me back the joy of your salvation,
     and a willing spirit sustain in me.
 O Lord, open my lips,
     and my mouth shall proclaim your praise.
 
 R. Be merciful, O Lord, for we have sinned.
