I – Introit

Grant eternal rest to them, Oh Lord, Eternal rest.

Hear our prayer, Oh Lord. Hear our prayer, Oh Lord.
Bless our instruments of song, As we honor you with music.
Grant eternal rest to them, Oh Lord, Eternal rest.

II – Kyrie

Lord, have mercy on us.
Christ, have mercy on us.
Lord, have mercy on us all.

On the Day of Wrath, When all are judged, Who will be worthy?
Merciful Lord Jesus, Grant them eternal rest.

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest!

Grant eternal rest to them, Oh Lord, Eternal rest.
