Media vita
In Lent
In the midst of life we are in death; of whom may we seek help but You, O Lord, who for our offences are justly displeased?
Yet, O God most holy, O holy and mighty, O holy and merciful Saviour, give us not over unto bitter death.
In You our fathers trusted. They trusted and You delivered them.
They cried out to You, and they were rescued. They cried out to You, and they were not disappointed.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Media vita in morte sumus: quem quaérimus adiutórem nisi te, Dómine, qui pro peccátis nostris iuste irásceris?
Sancte Deus, sancte fortis, sancte et miséricors Salvátor: amárae morti ne tradas nos.
In te speravérunt patres nostri; speraverunt et liberásti eos.
Sancte Deus, sancte fortis, sancte et miséricors Salvátor: amárae morti ne tradas nos.
Ad te clamavérunt patres nostri Clamavérunt et non sunt confúsi.
Sancte Deus, sancte fortis, sancte et miséricors Salvátor: amárae morti ne tradas nos.
Glória a Patri, et Fílio, et Spíritui Sancto.
Sancte Deus, sancte fortis, sancte et miséricors Salvátor: amárae morti ne tradas nos.
