1 Nu bede vi den Helligaand,
Alt om den cristelige Tro og ret Forstand,
Det os Gud bevare
Og sin Naade sende,
Naar vi heden fare
Af dette Elende.
Kyrie eleis!

2 Du værdige Lys, giv os dit Skin,
Lær os at kjende Jesum Christum alen',
At vi med hannem blive,
Vor kjære Frelsermand,
Som os monne indlede
Til det forjættede Land,
Kyrie eleis!

3 Du søde Aand, gyd i vort Bryst
Jesu Kjærlighed og Ordets ædle Lyst,
At vi udaf Hjertet
Ret hverander elske
Med eet Sind udi Christo
Og have baade Fred og Ro.
Kyrie eleis!

4 Du upprest' Trøster i al vor Nød,
Hjælp, vi forsmaa Verdens Spot og Usselhed,
At vi bestandig blive
Paa vor sidste Ende,
Naar vi med Djævlen kive
I Dødsens Elende.
Kyrie eleis!
