Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine,

et lux perpetua luceat eis.

Exaudi orationem meam,ad te omnis caro veniet.

Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine,et lux perpetua luceat eis.

Kyrie eleison.

Christe eleison.

Kyrie eleison.

Dies irae, dies illa

Solvet saeclum in favilla,

Quando judex est venturus

Cuncta stricte discussurus.

Dona eis requiem.

Pie Jesu Domine, dona eis

Osanna in excelsis.

 

VI. Agnus Dei

Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata
mundi,
dona eis requiem.

Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata
mundi,
dona eis requiem sempiternam.

Lux aeterna luceat eis,
Domine,
cum sanctis tuis in aeternum,
quia pius es.

Requiem aeternam dona
eis, Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis,
cum sanctis tuis in
aeternum,
quia pius es.

I. Introit and Kyrie

Grant them eternal rest, O Lord, And may the perpetual light shine on them.
Thou, O God, are praised in Sion, And unto Thee shall the vow be performed in Jerusalem.
Hear my prayer,
Unto Thee shall all flesh come.

And may perpetual light shine on them.
Lord have mercy upon us.
Christ have mercy upon us.
Lord have mercy upon us.

Day of wrath, that day
Will dissolve the age in ashes
As David and the Sibyl bear witness.
What dread there will be
When the Judge shall come
To judge all things strictly.

Merciful Jesu Lord
Grant them rest.
Merciful Jesu Lord
Grant them everlasting rest.

Lamb of God, who takest
away the sins of the world,
Grant them rest.
Lamb of God, who takest
away the sins of the world,
Grant them everlasting rest.
May the eternal light shine on
them, O Lord.
With Thy saints for ever,
Because Thou art merciful.
Grant the dead eternal rest, O
Lord,
And may the perpetual light
shine on them,
With Thy saints for ever,
Because Thou art merciful.
