Media vita in morte sumus - Nicolas Gombert

Media vita in morte sumus,
Quem quaerimus adiutorem nisi te, Domine?
Qui pro peccatis nostris iuste irasceris.
Sancte Deus, sancte fortis, sancte et misericors
Salvator noster amarae morti ne tradas nos.

In the midst of life we are in death;
of whom may we seek help but you, O Lord,
who for our offenses are justly displeased?
Yet, O God most holy, O holy and mighty,
O holy and merciful Savior, give us not over unto bitter death.
