- Kyrie, Gott Heiliger Geist, BWV 671
[4:50]
Full organ with the chorale played slowly in the pedal. The highly chromatic ending is striking. The three note opening of the chorale is used often
right side up and inverted, where it sounds like "Three Blind Mice."

German:
Kyrie, Gott Heiliger Geist,
Tröst, stärk uns im Glauben allermeist,
Daß wir am letzten End'
Fröhlich abscheiden aus diesem Elend.
Eleison, eleison! Amen.

Kyrie, O God the Holy Ghost,
Guard our faith, the gift we need the most;
Do Thou our last hour bless;
Let us leave this sinful world with gladness.
Eleison, eleison! Amen.
