Requiem
æternam dona eis, Domine:
et lux
perpetua luceat eis.
Te decet
hymnus, Deus, in Sion,
et tibi
reddetur votum in Jerusalem.
Exaudi
orationem meam,
ad te omnis
caro veniet.
Kyrie
eleison.
Christe
eleison.
Grant them
eternal rest, Lord,
And let
perpetual light shine upon them.
A hymn
becometh Thee, O God, in Zion,
And a vow
shall be paid to Thee in Jerusalem.
Hear my
prayer:
To Thee all
flesh shall come.
Lord, have
mercy;
Christ, have
mercy.
O Domine
Jesu Christe, Rex gloriae,
libera
animas defunctorum de poenis inferni,
et de
profundo lacu, de ore leonis;
ne absorbeat
tartarus,
ne cadant in
obscurum.
Hostias et
preces tibi, Domine, laudis offerimus.
Tu suscipe
pro animabus illis,
quarum hodie
memoriam facimus.
Fac eas,
Domine, de morte transire ad vitam,
quam olim
Abrahae promisisti et semini ejus.
Amen.
O Lord Jesus
Christ, King of Glory,
Deliver the
souls of the dead from the pains of Hell,
From the
deep lake, from the mouth of the lion;
Let not
Tartarus swallow them,
Nor let them
fall into darkness.
Prayers and
sacrifices to Thee, Lord, we offer.
Do Thou
receive them on behalf of those souls
Whom we this
day commemorate.
Grant, Lord,
that they pass from death to life,
As Thou
didst promise to Abraham and to his seed.
Amen.
Sanctus,
Sanctus, Sanctus,
Dominus Deus
Sabaoth.
Pleni sunt
coeli et terra gloria tua
Hosanna in
excelsis.
Holy, Holy,
Holy,
Lord God of
Hosts!
Heaven and
earth are full of Thy glory.
Hosanna in
the highest!
Pie Jesu,
Domine, dona eis requiem sempiternam.
Blessed
Jesus, Lord, grant them everlasting rest.
Agnus Dei,
qui tollis peccata mundi:
dona eis
requiem sempiternam.
Lux æterna
luceat eis, Domine:
Cum sanctis
tuis in æternum, quia pius es.
Requiem
æternam dona eis, Domine,
et lux
perpetua luceat eis.
Lamb of God,
Who ta kest away the sins of the world,
Grant them
eternal rest.
Let
everlasting light shine upon them, Lord,
With Thy
saints for ever, for Thou art good.
Grant them
eternal rest, Lord,
And let
perpetual light shine upon them.
Libera me,
Domine, de morte æterna,
in die illa
tremenda:
Quando coeli
movendi sunt et terra:
Dum veneris
judicare sæculum per ignem.
Tremens
factus sum ego, et timeo,
dum
discussio venerit, atque ventura ira.
Dies illa,
dies irae, calamitatis et miseriae,
Dies magna
et amara valde.
Requiem
æternam dona eis, Domine:
et lux
perpetua luceat eis.
Libera me,
Domine …
Deliver me,
O Lord, from eternal death
On that
awful day
When the
heavens and the earth shall quake,
When Thou
shalt come to judge the world by fire.
Full of
terror am I, and trembling,
And I fear
the trial and the wrath to come.
That day
shall be a day of wrath, calamity and misery.
A mighty
day, and exceedingly bitter.
Grant them
eternal rest, O Lord,
And let
perpetual light shine upon them.
Deliver me,
O Lord, deliver me …
In paradisum
deducant te angeli:
in tuo
adventu suscipiant te martyres,
et perducant
te in civitatem
sanctam
Jerusalem.
Chorus
angelorum te suscipiat,
et cum
Lazaro quondam paupere
æternam
habeas requiem.
May the
angels receive thee in Paradise.
At thy
coming may the martyrs
receive
thee, and bring thee
Into the
Holy City, Jerusalem.
There may
the choir of angels receive thee,
And with
Lazarus, once a beggar,
May’st thou
have eternal rest.
