HAVE MERCY ON US, O LORD, FOR WE HAVE SINNED

Have mercy on me, God in your kindness
In your compassion blot out my offence.
O wash me more and more from my guilt
And cleanse me from my sin.

My offences truly I know them;
My sin is always before me.
Against you, you alone, have I sinned;
What is evil in your sight I have done.

A pure heart create for me O God,
Put a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me away from your presence,
Nor deprive me of your Holy Spirit.

Give me again the joy of your help;
With a spirit of fervour sustain me.
O Lord open my lips
And my mouth shall declare your praise.
