Our fathers hoped in Thee, They hoped and Thou didst save them.
Holy God, Holy Strong One, Holy and Merciful Saviour, Do not give us over to a bitter death.
Our fathers cried out to Thee, They cried out and were not confounded.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
Holy God, etc.

WORDS:LATIN
/Media vita in morte sumus:/
quem quærimus adiutorem,
nisi te Domine,
Qui pro peccatis nostris iuste irasceris?

Sancte Deus,
Sancte fortis,
Sancte misericors Salvator,
amaræ morti ne tradas nos.

In te speraverunt patres nostri,
speraverunt et liberasti eos.

Sancte Deus,
Sancte fortis,
Sancte misericors Salvator,
amaræ morti ne tradas nos.

Ad te clamaverunt patres nostri,
clamaverunt, et non sunt confusi.

Sancte Deus,
Sancte fortis,
Sancte misericors Salvator,
amaræ morti ne tradas nos.

Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto.
Sancte Deus, etc.
