Latin text
- Sancte Deus, Sancte Fortis, Sancte et Immortalis, miserere nobis.
- Nunc, Christe, te petimus, miserere, quaesumus.
- Qui venisti redimere perditos, noli damnare redemptos:
- Quia per crucem tuam redemisti mundum. Amen.
(English votive antiphon.)
English translation by The St. Ann Choir, directed by William Mahrt
- Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy and Immortal One, have mercy upon us.
- Now, O Christ, we ask thee, we beseech thee, have mercy.
- Thou who came to redeem the lost, do not condemn the redeemed:
- For by thy cross thou hast redeemed the world. Amen.
German translation
- Heiliger Gott, heiliger starker Gott, heiliger Unsterblicher, erbarme dich unser.
- Christus, wir flehen dich an und bitten dich, erbarme dich unser.
- Du bist gekommen, die Verlorenen zu erlösen, verurteile nicht, die du gerettet hast:
- denn durch dein Kreuz hast du die Welt erlöst. Amen.
