Lyrics: 

R.  Sicut ovis ad occisiónem ductus est, et dum male tractarétur, non apéruit os suum : tráditus est ad mortem, * Ut vivificáret pópulum suum.
V.  Trádidit in mortem ánimam suam, et inter scelerátos reputátus est.
R.
  Ut vivificáret pópulum suum.

Translated Lyrics: 

R.  He was brought as a lamb to the slaughter : he was afflicted, and opened not his mouth : he was given over to die, * That he might make his people to live.
V.  He poured out his soul unto death, and he was numbered with the transgressors.
R.
  That he might make his people to live.
