Day of wrath, Lord, free me, Lord
Day of wrath, Lord, give me rest, Lord
Domine is the correct form for the Latin vocative Lord
Kyrie is from Greek, which is why it also means Lord

Answer 1 is more correct. You might be interested to know that the "Kyrie Eleison" is the only Greek in the Roman Catholic mass. kyrie, although Greek is the singular vocative meaning, "Oh God!"
The use of "Dominae" at the end indicates the is expressing the feminine plural, thereby intending to render the the traditional God as "goddesses." The vocative form of the first declension plural would be "dominae."
Hence, he says "Oh God" in Greek and "Oh goddesses!" in Latin.
