from the Litany

O Lord, have mercy.
O Christ, have mercy.
O Lord, have mercy.

O Christ, hear us.

God the Father in heaven, have mercy.
God the Son, redeemer of the world, have mercy.
God the Holy Spirit, the comforter, have mercy.

Be gracious to us. Spare us, good Lord.
Be gracious to us. Help us, good Lord.

From all sin, from all error, from all evil;
From the crafts and assaults of the devil;
From sudden and evil death;
From pestilence and famine;
From war and bloodshed;
From sedition and from rebellion;
From lightning and tempest;
From all calamity by fire and water;
And from everlasting death:
Good, Lord, deliver us.
