Audi Benigne Conditor [Hymn]

Audi benigne Conditor

AUDI, benigne Conditor,
nostras preces cum fletibus,
sacrata in abstinentia
fusas quadragenaria.

Scrutator alme cordium,
infirma tu scis virium;
ad te reversis exhibe
remissionis gratiam.

Multum quidem peccavimus,
sed parce confitentibus,
tuique laude nominis
confer medelam languidis.

Praesta, beata Creator,
concede, simplex Unitas,
ut fructuosa sint tuis
haec parcitatis munera. 

 

Oh Merciful Creator hear!
 

O MERCIFUL Creator, hear!
To us in pity bow Thine ear:
accept the tearful prayer we raise
in this our fast of forty days.

Our hearts are open, Lord, to Thee:
Thou knowest our infirmity;
pour out on all who seek Thy face
abundance of Thy pardoning grace.

Our sins are many, this we know;
spare us, good Lord, Thy mercy show;
and for the honor of Thy name
our fainting souls to life reclaim.

Give us self-control that springs
from discipline of outward things,
that fasting inward secretly
the soul may purely dwell with Thee.

We pray Thee, Holy Creator,
one God, unchanging Unity,
that we from this our abstinence
may reap the fruits of penitence. Amen.

[Wendigo 786]
