Attende, Domine
James D. Wetzel (b. 1987)

Attende Domine, et miserere, quia peccavimus tibi.

Ad te Rex summe,
omnium Redemptor,
oculos nostros
sublevamus flentes:
exaudi, Christe,
supplicantum preces.

Dextera Patris,
lapis angularis,
via salutis,
janua caelestis,
ablue nostri
maculas delicti.

Rogamus, Deus,
tuam majestatem:
auribus sacris
gemitus exaudi:
crimina nostra
placidus indulge.

Tibi fatemur
crimina admissa:
contrito corde
pandimus occulta:
tua, Redemptor,
pietas ignoscat.

Innocens captus,
nec repugnans ductus;
testibus falsis
pro impiis damnatus
quos redemisti,
tu conserva, Christe.

Hearken, O Lord, and have mercy, for we have sinned against you.

To you, highest King,
Redeemer of all,
do we lift up our eyes
in weeping;
hear, O Christ, the prayers
of your servants.

Right hand of the Father,
corner-stone, 
way of salvation,
gate of heaven,
wash away our 
stains of sin.

We beseech you, O God,
in your great majesty:
hear our groans
with your holy ears;
calmly forgive
our crimes.

To you we confess
our consented sins;
with a contrite heart
we reveal the things hidden;
in your mercy, O Redeemer,
forgive them.

The Innocent, seized,
not refusing to be led;
condemned by false witnesses
because of impious men,
keep safe those
whom you have redeemed, O Christ.
