Recordare, Jesu Pie
Motet for Lent
TEXT
Recordare, Jesu pie, quod sum causa tuae viae; ne me perdas illa die. Quaerens me, sedisti lassus, redemisti crucem passus; tantus labor non sit cassus. Ingemisco, tamquam reus: culpa rubet vultus meus; supplicanti parce, Deus.
TRANSLATION
Remember, kind Jesus, my salvation caused your suffering; do not forsake me on that day. Faint and weary you have sought me, redeemed me, suffering on the cross; may such great effort not be in vain. I sigh, like the guilty one: my face reddens in guilt: Spare the supplicating one, God.
