Media vita in morte sumus
/Media vita in morte sumus:/
quem quærimus adiutorem,
nisi te Domine,
Qui pro peccatis nostris iuste irasceris?
Sancte Deus,
Sancte fortis,
Sancte misericors Salvator,
amaræ morti ne tradas nos.
In te speraverunt patres nostri,
speraverunt et liberasti eos.
Sancte Deus,
Sancte fortis,
Sancte misericors Salvator,
amaræ morti ne tradas nos.
Ad te clamaverunt patres nostri,
clamaverunt, et non sunt confusi.
Sancte Deus,
Sancte fortis,
Sancte misericors Salvator,
amaræ morti ne tradas nos.
Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto.
Sancte Deus, etc.

/ In the midst of life, we are dying:/
Whom shall we seek as a help,
If not Thee, O Lord,
Who dost rightly grow wrathful for our sins?
Holy God,
Holy Strong One,
Holy and Merciful Saviour,
Do not hand us over to a bitter death.
Our fathers hoped in Thee,
They hoped and Thou didst save them.
Holy God,
Holy Strong One,
Holy and Merciful Saviour,
Do not give us over to a bitter death.
Our fathers cried out to Thee,
They cried out and were not confounded.
Holy God,
Holy Strong One,
Holy and Merciful Saviour,
Do not hand us over to a bitter death.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
Holy God, etc.
