The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

O My God, I am heartily sorry,

For having offended Thee,

And I detest all my sins,

Because I dread the loss of heaven,

And the pains of Hell,

But most of all because I have offended Thee My God,

Who art all good and deserving of all my love,

I firmly resolve, with the help of thy grace,

To confess my sin, to do penance,

And to amend my life,

Amen
