1. This is our accepted time, this is our salvation;
Prayer and fasting are our hope, penance our vocation.
God of pardon and of love, mercy past all measure,
You alone can grant us peace, You our holy treasure.
2. Lord look down upon your sons, look upon their yearning;
Man is dust and unto dust, he shall be returning.
Lift him up O Lord of life, flesh has gained him sadness.
Hear his plea bestow on him, everlasting gladness.
