Lyrics
Iuste iudex ultionis

Donum fac remissionis

Ante diem rationis

O————

Ingemisco tamquam reus

Culpa rubet vultus meus

Supplicanti parce Deus

Oro supplex et acclinis

Cor contritum quasi cinis

Gere curam mei finis

O————

Gere curam mei finis

English Translation
Just Judge of vengeance

Make a gift of remission

Before the day of reckoning

I sigh, like the guilty one

My face reddens in guilt

Spare the imploring one, God

[humbly] Kneeling and bowed I pray

[my] Heart crushed as ashes

Take care of my end

Take care of my end
