Lyrics

Almightye and euerlastyng God,

whiche hatest nothyng that thou haste made,

and doest forgeue the sinnes

of all them that be penitente;

Creat and make in us newe and contrite heartes,

that wee worthely lamenting oure synnes,

and knowlegyng our wretchednes,

maye obtaine of thee, the God of all mercye,

perfect remission and forgeuenes;

thorough Jesus Christ.
