KYRIE ELEISON Plainchant, Mode VI

Dicit Dominus Petro: cum esses iunior, cingebas te,

et ambulabas ubi volebas: cum autem senueris,

extendes manus tuas, et alius te cinget, et ducet quo tu non

vis: hoc autem dixit, significans qua morte

clarificaturus esset Deum. Jn 21:18,19

The Lord said unto Peter: “When you were young, you

girded yourself and walked where you would; but when you

are old, you will stretch forth your hands, and another will

gird you and lead you where you do not wish to go.” This

he said to signify by what death he was to glorify God.

Kyrie eleison.

Christe eleison.

Lord, have mercy.

Christ, have mercy.

上主，求你垂怜

基督，求你垂怜

Señor, ten piedad.

Cristo, ten piedad.

Señor, ten piedad.

1.) Faith of our fathers, living still

In spite of dungeon, fire and sword,

O how our hearts beat high with joy

Whene’er we hear that glorious word!

Faith of our fathers! holy faith!

We will be true to thee till death!

2.) Our fathers, chained in prisons dark,

Were still in heart and conscience free;

And blest would be their children’s fate,

If they, like them should die for thee:

Faith of our fathers! holy faith!

We will be true to thee till death!

3.) Faith of our fathers, Mary’s prayers

Shall win all nations unto thee;

And through the truth that comes from God

Mankind shall then indeed be free.

Faith of our fathers! holy faith!

We will be true to thee till death!

4.) Faith of our fathers, we will love

Both friend and foe in all our strife,

And preach thee, too, as love knows how

By kindly words and virtuous life.

Faith of our fathers! holy faith!

We will be true to thee till death!

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy,

Our Life, our Sweetness, and our Hope!

To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve.

To thee do we send up our sighs,

Mourning and weeping in this vale of tears.

Turn, then, most gracious Advocate,

Thine eyes of mercy towards us;

And after this, our exile, show unto us the

Blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus;

O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
