In the midst of life we are in death

Language: English

Our translations: FRE SPA

In the midst of life we are in death: of whom
May we seek for succour, but of thee, O Lord,
Who for our sins art justly displeased? Yet, 
O Lord, most mighty, O holy and most
Merciful Saviour, deliver us not into the bitter 
Pains of eternal death.

Au milieu de la vie nous sommes dans la...

Language: French (Français) after the English

Au milieu de la vie nous sommes dans la mort : auprès de qui
Pouvons-nous chercher de l'aide, si ce n'est de toi, ô Seigneur,
Toi qui par nos péchés est à juste titre mécontent ? Pourtant,
Ô Seigneur, le plus puissant, ô saint et le plus
Miséricordieux Sauveur, ne nous soumets pas à l'amère
Douleur de la mort éternelle.
