Kyrie!

Kyrie, God Father in heav'n above,
You abound in grace and love,
Of all things the Maker and Preserver.
Eleison! Eleison!

Kyrie, O Christ, our King,
Salvation for all You came to bring.
O Lord Jesus, God's own Son,
Our Mediator at the heavenly throne:
Hear our cry and grant our supplication.
Eleison! Eleison!

Kyrie, O God the Holy Ghost,
Guard our faith, the gift we need the most,
And bless our life's last hour,
That we leave this sinful world with gladness.
Eleison! Eleison!

--Kyrie from Divine Service 5 (LSB 942)
