O Man, Forgive Us for Our Sins
Johann Sebastian Bach
St. Matthew’s Passion, “Mache dich, mein Herze, rein” (Make Thee Clean, My Heart) 
Johann Sebastian Bach
 
At evening, hour of calm and rest, was Adam’s fall made manifest;
sy evening too the Lord’s redeeming love.
At evening, homeward turned the dove: an olive leaf,
the while she bore. O beauteous time. At evening hour!
Our peace with God is evermore assured.
For Jesus hath His Cross endured.
His body thou doeth crave, Thou, His disciples, for the grave.
O let us all regard with thankful wonder His precious death,
and on its meaning ponder.
Make thee clean, my heart, from sin, unto Jesus, welcome giving;
so within my cleansed breast shall He rest.
Evermore with me living.
World, depart, let Jesus in.
 
Si Fui Motivo de Dolor, O Dios (If I Have Been the Source of Pain, O God)
Pablo Sosa
 
If I have been the source of pain, O God; if to the weak I have refused my strength.
If, in rebellion, I have strayed away; forgive me, God.
If I’ve insisted on a peaceful life, far from the struggles that the gospel brings,
when you prefer to guide me to the strife, forgive  me, God.
