Media vita in morte sumus Quem quærimus adjutorem nisi te, Domine? Qui pro peccatis nostris juste irasceris Sancte Deus, sancte fortis Sancte misericors Salvator Amaræ morti ne tradas nos In te speraverunt patres nostri Speraverunt et liberasti eos Ad te clamaverunt patres nostri Clamaverunt et non sunt confusi Gloria Patri, et Filio et Spiritui Sancto
In the midst of life we are in death: of whom may we seek for succour, but of thee, O Lord, who for our sins art justly displeased? Yet, O Lord God most holy, O Lord most mighty, O holy and most merciful Saviour, deliver us not into the bitter pains of eternal death
