Changes

The hymn then returns to its credal formula, naming Christ and recalling his birth, suffering and death, his resurrection and glorification. At this point the hymn turns to the subjects declaiming the praise, both the universal Church and the singer in particular, asking for mercy on past sins, protection from future sin, and the hoped-for reunification with the elect.

te Dominum confitemur.

Te aeternum Patrem

Domine, super nos, quemadmodum speravimus in te.

In te, Domine, speravi:

we acknowledge thee to be the Lord.

All the earth doth worship thee :

O Lord, in thee have I trusted :

let me never be confounded.
