Lyrics:

Peccavi super numerum arenae maris, 
et multiplicata sunt peccata mea,
et non sum dignus videre altitudinem caeli 
prae multitudine iniquitatis meae,
quoniam irritavi iram tuam et malum coram te feci.

English translation:
For my sins number more than the grains of sand in the sea,
and my sins I have multiplied, 
and I am not worthy to gaze upon heaven above 
because of the multitude of my sins,
for I have provoked your wrath and done evil in your sight.
