1. I am the sinner, the criminal in a state,
But I hope for the acceptance of my prayer.

2. The door of hope has not narrowed for me, even if it narrows,
For in it is all my hope in my God’s grace.

3. So I have no ambition that I will be answered for a good deed I have done,
For I know my sins.

4. And I admit to sins, for I
Have borne from them a filled vessel.

5. And I am one with hope tomorrow, despair not
Behind me after everything behind me.
