Attende Domine, et miserere, quia peccavimus tibi. Adiuva nos Deus salutaris noster, et propter honorem nominis tui, libera nos. Let us make amends for the sins we have committed in ignorance: lest we should suddenly, at the day of death, seek a place of repentance and not be able to find one. Hear us, Lord, and have mercy, for we have sinned against you. Help us, God our salvation, and for the honour of your name, free us. * * * Video produced by Classical Films Edited by G6 Studio
