O vos omnes,
qui transities per viam

intuere et respice

O you people,
who pass this way,
look and see
if there exists any sorrow,
like unto my sorrow.
Remember, Lord
consider and notice
our humiliation and disgrace!
“Halt unsre Sünde uns nicht vor” from Prayers of Kierkegaard
Music: Samuel Barber
Text: Søren Kierkegaard
Halt unsre Sünde uns nicht vor,
Nein, halt uns aufrecht vor der Sünde,
so dass wir nicht durch Dich erinnert werden,
woran wir uns varschuldet,
Nur an was Du uns verziehen.
Nicht wie wir uns verirrt,
Nur wie Du uns gefunden!
TRANSLATION
Hold not our sins up against us
But hold us up against our sins,
So that the thought of You should not remind us
Of what we have committed
But of what You did forgive;
Not of how we went astray,
But of how You did save us!
