HEAR US NOW, WE COME CONFESSING
HEAR US NOW 87.86.44.7
Edith Sinclair Downing, 2001

[3-13-03]
Hear us now, we come confessing,
Kyrie eleison.
We, the blest, have not shared blessing.
Christe eleison.
For our selfish
way of living,
Kyrie eleison.
Save us from rash condemnation,
Kyrie eleison,
lest we harm all of creation,
Christe, eleison.
Keep us faithful
as we struggle.
Kyrie eleison.
Curb our anger, calm our anguish.
Kyrie eleison.
Send us courage when we languish.
Christe eleison.
When we falter,
redirect us.
Kyrie eleison.
As we face each unknown morrow,
Kyrie eleison.
help us tend another's sorrow.
Christe eleison.
Let our living
show your loving.
Kyrie eleison.
