Penitential Stanzas (Tone 4)

Gerald Largent

Lord, I long to wash away with tears the record of all my sins, and to spend the remaining days of my life pleasing You through repentance, but the devil continually deceives me! He wages war against my soul! Save me, before I utterly perish, O Lord!

Who, when bestormed, if he runs to this Haven is not saved? Or who that is sick, if he runs to this Healing, is not made whole? Lord, the Maker of all and Physician of the sick, save me, before I utterly perish, O Lord!

I flee for refuge to You, the Good Shepherd; I am a sheep of Your rational flock! O God, I have gone astray; seek me, and have mercy on me!

Savior, wash me in my tears, for I am defiled by many sins. Therefore I fall before You: I have sinned; have mercy on me, O God!
