2. Not my sins, O Lord, remember,
  nor thine own avenger be;
but, for thy great tender mercies,
  Saviour God, deliver me!

3. By thy holy Incarnation,
  by its awful mystery,
by thy Birth and Circumcision,
  Saviour God, deliver me!

4. By thy Baptism in Jordan,
  when the Dove came down on thee,
by thy Fasting and Temptation,
  Saviour God, deliver me!

5. By thy Cross, and by thy Passion,
  bloody sweat and agony,
by thy precious Death and Burial,
  Saviour God, deliver me!

6. By thy glorious Resurrection,
  thine Ascent in Heaven to be,
by the Holy Spirit's coming,
  Saviour God, deliver me!

7. In all time of tribulation,
  in the world's prosperity,
in death's hour, and at the Judgment,
  Saviour God, deliver me!
