 Lamb of  God,  Who  takest  away  the  sins  of  the  world,
 * spare us,  O  Lord.

Lamb of  God,  Who  takest  away  the  sins  of  the  world,
 * graciously hear  us,  O  Lord.

Lamb of  God,  Who  takest  away  the  sins  of  the  world,
 * have mercy  on  us. 

Lord, have  mercy  on  us. Christ, have  mercy  on  us. Lord, have  mercy  on  us,

V. We  adore  Thee,  O  Christ,  and  we  bless  Thee.

R. Because  by  Thy  holy  Cross  Thou  hast  redeemed the world,

ivine Jesus,  incarnate  Son  of  God,  who  for  our salvation didst  vouchsafe  to  be  born  in  a  stable,  to pass  thy  life  in  poverty,  trials,  and  misery,  and  to  die  amid the sufferings  of  the  Cross,  I  entreat  Thee  in  the  hour  of  my death,  say  to  thy  divine  Father:  "Father,  forgive  him"; say to  thy  beloved  Mother:  "behold  thy  son";  say  to  my soul:  "this  day  thou  shalt  be  with  Me  in  Paradise."

''Have mercy  on  us,  O  Lord;  have  mercy  on  us. ''
