Lyrics: 

Asperges me, Domine, hyssopo, et mundabor: lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor.
Ps. Miserere mei, Deus, secundum magnam misericordiam tuam.
V. Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto

Translated Lyrics: 

Thou shalt sprinkle me, O Lord, with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed; Thou shalt wash me, and I shall become whiter than snow.    
Ps. Have mercy on me, O God, according to Thy great mercy.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
