HEAR US NOW, WE COME CONFESSING
UNION SEMINARY 87.87.44.7
Edith Sinclair Downing,
2001
Harold Friedell, 1957
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.
ã 2001, Edith Sinclair Downing
Edith notes that "the text could be of use
perhaps in worship or private use. The Kyries could be sung and words
spoken. That way another tune could be used for the kyries."

After fifteen years of scholarship

voices of feminist theologians of all stripes: scholars, clergy,
students, exiles, missionaries, workers, thinkers, artists, lovers
and devotees, from many parts of the world, all children of the God
in whose image women are made. .... This blog seeks to glorify God
through prayer, work, art, and intellectual reflection. Through
articles and ensuing discussion we hope to become an active and
