In the Midst of Earthly Life
VERSE 1
In the
midst of earthly life
Snares
of death surround us;
Who
shall help us in the strife
Lest the
Foe confound us?
Thou
only, Lord, Thou only!
We mourn
that we have greatly erred,
That our
sins Thy wrath have stirred.
Holy and
righteous God!
Holy and
mighty God!
Holy and
all merciful Savior!
Eternal
Lord God!
Save us
lest we perish
In the
bitter pangs of death.
Have
mercy, O Lord!
VERSE 2
In the
midst of death’s dark vale
Powers
of hell o’ertake us.
Who will
help when they assail,
Who
secure will make us?
Thou
only, Lord, Thou only!
Thy
heart is moved with tenderness,
Pities
us in our distress.
Holy and
righteous God!
Holy and
mighty God!
Holy and
all merciful Savior!
Eternal
Lord God!
Save us
from the terror
Of the
fiery pit of hell.
Have
mercy, O Lord!
VERSE 3
In the
midst of utter woe
When our
sins oppress us,
Where
shall we for refuge go,
Where
for grace to bless us?
To Thee,
Lord Jesus, only!
Thy
precious blood was shed to win
Full
atonement for our sin.
Holy and
righteous God!
Holy and
mighty God!
Holy and
all merciful Savior!
Eternal
Lord God!
Lord,
preserve and keep us
In the
peace that faith can give.
Have
mercy, O Lord!
