A Litany on the Passion

16

Show us Thy mercy, O Lord, grant pardon, grant remission:

And have mercy graciously.

Thou who, coming to save the world, wert brought to judgment, when Thou comest as Judge, deliver us not up with the ungodly:

And have mercy graciously.

Thou, who wert hung upon the Cross, bear on Thy shoulders the death due to our guilt:

And have mercy graciously.

Thou who didst once suffer for the ungodly, and diest no more, mortify our vices in us, and heal us by the wound of the Cross:

And have mercy graciously.

That in the judgment Thy face may not be turned on us for punishment, but may shine on us with pardon:

And have mercy graciously. Amen. —Mozarabic Breviary¹¹Old Spanish liturgy, later named Mozarabic.
