Lenten Hymn: AUDI BENIGNE CONDITOR

Details

Description

This hymn is attributed to Pope St. Gregory the Great (540-604) and its use begins at that time. It is used at Vespers from the first Sunday of Lent until the Friday before Passion Sunday, both on Sundays and feast days.

AUDI, benigne Conditor,
nostras preces cum fletibus,
sacrata in abstinentia
fusas quadragenaria.

Scrutator alme cordium,
infirma tu scis virium;
ad te reversis exhibe
remissionis gratiam.

Multum quidem peccavimus,
sed parce confitentibus,
tuique laude nominis
confer medelam languidis.

Sic corpus extra conteri
dona per abstinentiam,
ieiunet ut mens sobria
a labe prorsus criminum.

Praesta, beata Trinitas,
concede, simplex Unitas,
ut fructuosa sint tuis
haec parcitatis munera. Amen.
