They went around and surrounded me. Lord, All my sins got up all of a sudden To destroy me from the number of thy flock. There is no redeemer to save my life but thou, O Good One Whose commandments I neglected. I cry to you, Have pity on me who is lost. O Lord, I have taken shelter in thy grace Do not leave me in the hands of the wicked. Pardon my sins as thou art accustomed to do, O Merciful One, who has pity on all; Blessed is thy coming to us. O Lord, have mercy on us. The mountains shall carry peace to thy people. May peace and prosperity increase for thy people, O Peace of the world, Christ who came to redeem us, Sow unity among the children of the Church So that they may sing praise to thy name with the angels; Set up priests and reconcile kings. Make wars cease from the ends of the earth, And protect the assembly of thy adorers, Who cry to thee always. Visit the sick by thy grace, Give health to the weak by thy mercy, Extend the hand of thy help to all who are oppressed. O Lord, have mercy on us.
