Original text and translations

Latin text Domine, praestolamur adventum tuum, ut cito venias, et dissolvas jugum captivitatem nostrae. Veni, Domine, noli tardare, relaxa facinora plebi tuae, et libera populum tuum. (part 2 based on a Respond for 4th Friday in Advent, Sarum Rite)

English translation O Lord, we await thy coming, that thou comest quickly and dissolvest the bonds of our captivity. Come, O Lord, and tarry not: forgive the misdeeds of thy servants, and deliver thy people.
