[18]Anon.

trans. by Catherine Winkworth, 1869

Our dear Lord of grace hath given

To St. Peter power in heaven,

That he may uphold alway,

All who hope in him, and say

Kyrie eleison!

Christe eleison!

Therefore must he stand before

The heavenly kingdom's mighty door;

There will he an entrance give

To those who shall be bid to live:

Kyrie eleison!

Christe eleison!

Let us to God's servant pray,

All, with loudest voice to-day,

That our souls which else were lost

May dwell among the heavenly host:

Kyrie eleison!

Christe eleison!
