Media vita in morte sumus (Cranmer)

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 God most holy, O Lord most mighty, O holy and most merciful Saviour, Deliver us not into the bitter pains Of eternal death! Thou knowest, Lord, the secrets of our hearts; Shut not Thy merciful ears to our prayer; But spare us, Lord most holy, O God most mighty, O holy and merciful Saviour, Thou most worthy Judge eternal, Suffer us not at our last hour, For any pains of death, To fall from Thee!
