English text
Man that is born of a woman
hath but a short time to live,
and is full of misery.
He comet up, and is cut down like a flower;
he fleeth as it were a shadow,
and never continueth in one stay.
In the midst of life we are in death;
of whom may we seek succor,
but of thee, O Lord, who for our sins are justly displeased?
Yet O Lord God most holy,
O Lord most mighty,
O holy and most merciful Savior,
deliver us not into the bitter pains of eternal death.
