Here is my translation of the alternate Kyrie Paschale, in ELGB #145, with German farsing, ultimately from the Pomeranian Church Order, which in later times was put into High German. It corresponds to Spangenberg’s earlier rendering, “Kyrie Gott, aller Welt Schöpfer,” using the same melodic basis:
KYRIE! Lord God, the Father,
Have mercy on us.
2 Christe! The Father’s only, true Son,
Have mercy on us.
3 Kyrie! Lord God, the Holy Ghost,
Have mercy on us.
GERMAN
1 Kyrie! o Herr Gott Vater,
erbarm Dich unser.
2 Christe! Gott Vaters einiger Sohn
erbarm Dich unser.
3 Kyrie! Herr Gott heiliger Geist,
erbarm Dich unser.
