Lyrics:

1-4. The list of saints varies depending on the congregation. After each short group of names, the congregation chants "Pray for us" and finally, "All you holy men and women pray for us."

5. Lord, be merciful, save your people. From all evil, save your people. From every sin, save your people. From everlasting death, save your people. By your incarnation, save your people. By your death and resurrection, save your people. By your gift of the spirit, save your people. Have mercy on us sinners, save your people. Christ, hear us. Lord Jesus, hear our prayers.

6. Lord, give new life, hear our prayer. To these chosen, hear our prayer. By the grace of baptism, hear our prayer. O Jesus, Son of the living God, hear our prayer. Send your Spirit, hear our prayer. In its fullness, hear our prayer. On your sons and daughters, hear our prayer. Who believe and profess you, hear our prayer. Christ, hear us. Lord Jesus, hear our prayers.
