Topics: classic

Jesus Christ, our Saviour true     He who Death overthrew,     Is up arisen,     And sin hath put in prison.             Kyrieeleison.     Born whom Mary sinless hath,     Bore he for us God's wrath,     Hath reconciled us:     Favour God doth now yield us.             Kyrieeleison.     Death and sin, and life and grace,     All to his hands we trace:     He can deliver     All who seek the life-giver.             Kyrieeleison.
