Media vita in morte sumus.
Quem quaerimus adjutorem nisi te, Domine,
Qui pro peccatis nostris juste irasceris?

Sancte Deus. Sancte fortis.
Sancte et misericors Salvator,
amarae morti ne tradas nos.

Translation:
In the midst of life we are in death.
Whom can we seek as our helper but you, O Lord,
Who for our sins are justly angry?

Holy God. Holy and Strong.
Holy and merciful Saviour,
deliver us not to the bitter pains of death.
