Audi, Benigne Conditor is attributed to Pope St. Gregory the Great (540-604). In the Roman Breviary it is sung at Vespers throughout Lent (Quadragesima) up until Passion (Palm) Sunday.
AUDI, BENIGNE CONDITOR
1. Audi, benigne Conditor,
nostras preces cum fletibus,
sacrata in abstinentia
fusas quadragenaria.
2. Scrutator alme cordium,
infirma tu scis virium;
ad te reversis exhibe
remissionis gratiam.
3. Multum quidem peccavimus,
sed parce confitentibus,
tuique laude nominis
confer medelam languidis.
4. Sic corpus extra conteri
dona per abstinentiam,
ieiunet ut mens sobria
a labe prorsus criminum.
5. Praesta, beata Trinitas,
concede, simplex Unitas,
ut fructuosa sint tuis
haec parcitatis munera. Amen.
