Show us your mercy, O Lord. Grant pardon, grant forgiveness:
Be gracious and have mercy on us.
You came to save the world. You were brought to judgment. When you come as Judge, do not deliver us up with the ungodly:
Be gracious and have mercy on us.
You hung on the Cross, and bore on your shoulders the death we deserved for our guilt:
Be gracious and have mercy on us.
You suffered for the ungodly, and cannot die again. Put to death our vices in us, and heal us by your wounds from the Cross:
Be gracious and have mercy on us.
That in the judgment your face may not be turned on us for punishment, but may shine on us with pardon:
Be gracious and have mercy on us. Amen.
