Translation
Remember, kind Jesus,
my salvation caused your
suffering;
do not forsake me on that day.
Faint and
weary you have sought
me,
redeemed me, suffering on the
cross;
may such great effort not be in
vain.
Righteous judge of vengeance,
grant me the gift of absolution
before the day of retribution.
I moan as one who is guilty:
owning my shame with a red face
;
suppliant before you, Lord.
You, who absolved Mary,
and listened to the thief,
give me hope also
My prayers are unworthy,
but, good Lord, have mercy,
and rescue me from eternal fire.
Provide me a place among the
sheep,
and separate me from the goats,
guiding me to Your right hand.
