Mitten wir im Leben sind
Von dem Tod umfangen.
Wen suchen wir, der Hilfe 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 bittren Todes Not! Kyrie eleison!
