Thomas Morley - Second Dirge Anthem - текст песни (слова)

Man that is born of a woman hath but a short time to live, and is full of misery.
 He cometh 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 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.
