Samuel Sebastian Wesley - Man that is born of a woman - текст песни (слова)

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.
