1. Koraal [S, A, T, B]

   

Mitten wir im Leben sind
mit dem Tod umfangen.
Wen suchn 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 bittern Todes Not.
Kyrieleison.

Midden in het leven zijn wij
door de dood omringd.
Wie zoeken wij als helper
om genade te krijgen?
Dat ben u alleen, Heer.
Wij hebben berouw van onze zonde,
die u, Heer, boos heeft gemaakt.
Heilige Heer God,
heilige sterke God,
heilige barmhartige Heiland,
eeuwige God:
laat ons niet wegzinken
in de nood van de bittere dood.
Ontferm u.
