Misericordes sicut Pater! Misericordes sicut Pater!
Give thanks to the Father, for he is good
in æternum misericordia eius.
He created the world with wisdom
in æternum misericordia eius.
He leads his people throughout history
in æternum misericordia eius.
He pardons and welcomes his children
in æternum misericordia eius.
Misericordes sicut Pater! Misericordes sicut Pater!
Misericordes sicut Pater! Misericordes sicut Pater!
Give thanks to the Son, Light of the Nations
in æternum misericordia eius.
He loved us with a heart of flesh
in æternum misericordia eius.
As we receive from him, let us also give to him
in æternum misericordia eius.
Hearts open to those who hunger and thirst
in æternum misericordia eius.
Misericordes sicut Pater! Misericordes sicut Pater!
Misericordes sicut Pater! Misericordes sicut Pater!
Let us ask the Spirit for the seven holy gifts
in æternum misericordia eius.
Fount of all goodness and the sweetest relief
in æternum misericordia eius.
Comforted by him, let us offer comfort
in æternum misericordia eius.
Love hopes and bears all things
in æternum misericordia eius.
Misericordes sicut Pater! Misericordes sicut Pater!
Misericordes sicut Pater! Misericordes sicut Pater!
Let us ask for peace from the God of all peace
in æternum misericordia eius.
The earth waits for the Good News of the Kingdom
in æternum misericordia eius.
Joy and pardon in the hearts of the little ones
in æternum misericordia eius.
The heavens and the earth will be renewed
in æternum misericordia eius.
