Original text and translations
English text
O God, whose nature and property is ever to have mercy and to forgive,
receive our humble petitions;
and though we be tied and bound with the chain of our sins,
yet let the pitifulness of thy great mercy loose us;
for the honour of Jesus Christ, our only Mediator and Advocate.
Amen.
