William Byrd - Emendemus in melius
Choir of Christ Church Acradia, directed by George King. 2010.
Responsory for Lent I
Emendemus in melius quae ignoranter peccavimus;
ne subito praeoccupati die mortis,
quaeramus spatium poenitentiae, et invenire non possimus.
Attende, Domine, et miserere; quia peccavimus tibi. (cf. Bar. 3:2)
Adjuva nos, Deus salutaris noster, et propter honorem nominis tui libera nos. (Ps. 78:9a)
Let us amend the sins that in our ignorance we have committed: lest the day of death come upon us suddenly,
and we find no place for repentance, though we seek it. Hear, O Lord, and have mercy, for we have sinned against thee.
Help us, O God of our salvation: for the glory of thy Name deliver us.
