Mitten wir im Leben sind
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Latin
Mitten wir im Leben sind
[Von]1 dem Tod umfangen.
[Wer ist da, der Hülfe tu']2,
Daß; wir Gnad' erlangen?
Das bist du, Herr, alleine!
Uns reuet unsre Missetat,
Die dich, Herr, erzürnet hat.
Heiliger Herre Gott,
Heiliger, starker Gott,
Heiliger, barmherziger Heiland,
Du ewiger Gott, laß uns nicht versinken
In des [bittern]3 Todes Not! Kyrie eleison!
Mitten in dem Tod anficht
Uns der Hölle Rachen.
Wer will uns aus Nöten
Frei und ledig machen?
Das tust du, Herr, alleine!
Es jammert dein'Barmherzigkeit
Unsre Sünd' und großes Leid.
Heiliger Herre Gott,
Heiliger, starker Gott,
Heiliger, barmherziger Heiland,
Du ewiger Gott, laß uns nicht versinken
In des bittern Todes Not! Kyrie eleison!
Mitten in der Höllenangst
Unsre Sünd' uns treiben.
Wohin soll'n wir denn fliehen hin,
Daß wir mögen bleiben?
Zu dir, Heiland, alleine!
Vergoßen ist dein teures Blut,
Das g'nug für die Sünde tut.
Heiliger Herre Gott,
Heiliger, starker Gott,
Heiliger, barmherziger Heiland,
Du ewiger Gott, laß uns nicht versinken
In des bittern Todes Not! Kyrie eleison!

Enmig de la nostra vida
Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)
Enmig de la nostra vida
la mort ens envolta.
Qui podem albirar, que ens doni ajut,
que ens aconsegueixi el perdó?
Aquest ets tu, Senyor, només tu!
Ens penedim dels nostres pecats,
que a tu, Senyor, t’han fet enutjar.
Senyor Déu Sant!
Déu Sant totpoderós!
Sant, misericordiós Salvador, tu Déu etern,
no ens deixis caure en dolorós l’infortuni de la mort! Kyrie eleison.
Enmig de la mort ens escomet
la revenja de l’infern.
Qui ens alliberarà
d’aquesta dissort?
Ho faràs tu, Senyor, només tu!
La teva misericòrdia es compadeix
dels nostres pecats i grans afliccions.
Senyor Déu Sant!
Déu Sant totpoderós!
Sant, misericordiós Salvador, tu Déu etern,
no ens deixis acovardir davant les flames vives de l’infern! Kyrie eleison.
Enmig del temor de l’infern
ens porten els nostres pecats.
Cap on hem de fugir
per poder-hi restar?
Vers tu, Crist Senyor, només tu!
La teva preciosa sang fou vessada
per a l’entera expiació dels nostres pecats.
Senyor Déu Sant!
Déu Sant totpoderós!
Sant, misericordiós Salvador, tu Déu etern,
no ens apartis del veritable consol de la fe. Kyrie eleison.
