Mitten wir im Leben sind
Von dem Tod umfangen.
Wer ist da, der Hülfe tu',
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 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!
