Latin text O bone, O dulcis, O benigne Jesu, te deprecor per illum tuum sanguinem pretiosum, quem pro nobis miseris effundere dignatus es in ara crucis: ut abjicias omnes iniquitates meas.

English translation O good, O sweet, O kindly Jesus, I beseech thee, by thy most precious blood, Which for us wretched ones Thou didst deign to pour out the altar of the cross: to blot out all my sins. Translation by James Gibb
