Requiem

REQUIEM aeternum 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 Requiem aeternum dona eis Domine Et lux perpetua luceat eis. Kyrie eleison Christe eleison Kyrie eleison	Grant them eternal rest, O Lord, And let perpetual light shine upon them, A song of praise is fitting for you, O God, in Sion And an offering shall be made to you in Jerusalem. Hear my prayer To you all flesh shall come. Grant them eternal rest, O Lord, And let perpetual light shine upon them. Lord, have mercy Christ, have mercy Lord, have mercy
DIES IRAE dies illa Solvet saeclum in favilla Teste David cum Sibylla Quantus tremor est futurus Quando Judex est venturus Cuncta stricte discussurus!	The day of wrath, that day Shall scatter our generation in ashes As foretold by David and the Sibyl How great the trembling shall be When the Judge shall come To destroy all things relentlessly.
TUBA MIRUM spargens sonum Per sepulchra regionem Coget omnes ante thronum Mors stupebit et natura Cum resurget creatura Judicanti responsura Liber scriptus proferetur In quo totum continetur Unde mundus judicetur Judex ergo cum sedebit Quidquid latet apparebit Nil inultum remanebit Quid sum miser tunc dicturus? Quem patronum rogaturus Cum vix justis sit securus?	The trumpet, spreading its wondrous sound Through the tombs of nations, Shall drive all before the throne Death, and nature, shall be dumbfounded. When creation shall arise To answer to the judgement The book, which has been written, shall be brought forward In which all is contained And from which the world may be judged Therefore when the Judge shall take his seat Whatever is hidden shall be revealed Nothing shall remain unavenged What am I, wretched one, to say then? Whom to ask for as my protector Since a righteous man is scarcely safe?
REX TREMENDAE majestasis Qui salvandos salvas gratis Salve me fons pietatis	O King of fearful majesty Who freely saves those deserving to be saved Save me, O fount of goodness.
RECORDARE Jesu pie Quod sum causa tuae viae Ne me perdas illa die. Quarens me sedisti lassus Redemisti crucem passus. Tantus labor non sit cassus Juste Judex ultionis Donum fac remissionis Ante diem rationis Ingemisco tanquam reus Culpa rubet vultus meus. Supplicanti parce Deus Qui Mariam absolvisti Et latronem axaudisti Mihi quoque spem dedisti Preces meae non sunt dignae Sed tu bonus fac benigne Ne perenni cremer igne. Inter oves locum praesta Et ab hoedis me squextra Statuens in parte dextra	Remember, Good Jesus, As I am the cause of your way Not to destroy me on that day In search of me, you sank down weary, You redeemed me through suffering the cross. Let not such an ordeal be in vain. Justly the judge of taking vengeance Grant the gift of forgiveness Before the day of reckoning I groan as if accused My face grows red with guilt. Spare a suppliant, O God, You who forgave Mary And listened to the robber, Have given hope to me also My prayers are not worthy But you in your goodness act kindly Lest I should be burnt in the everlasting fire. Ensure me a place among the sheep And separate me from the goats Setting me on the right side.
CONFUTATIS maledictis Flammis acribus addictis Voca me cum enedictis Oro supplex et acclinis Cor contritum quasi cinis Gere curam mei finis.	The cursed having been confounded And consigned to the fierce flames, Call me with the blessed. I pray as a suppliant and lean to you, My heart is crushed like ashes, take care of my end.
LACRYMOSA dies illa Qua resurget ex favilla Judicandus homo reus Huic ergo parce Deus Pie Jesu Domine Dona eis requiem. Amen.	Full of tears that day shall be When the guilty men shall arise From the ashes to be judged. Spare him therefore, O God. Good Lord Jesus, Grant them rest.
DOMINE Jesu Christe Rex Gloria Libera animas omnium Fidelium defunctorum De poenis inferni Et de profundo lacu Libera eis de ore leonis Ne absorbeat eas Tartarus Ne cadant in obscurum Sed signifer sanctus Michael Repraesentet eas in lucem sanctam Quam olim Abrahae Promisisti et semini eius.	O Lord Jesus Christ, King of glory, Free the souls Of all the faithful dead From the punishment of the world below And from the deep lake. Free them from the mouth of the lion. Let not hell swallow them up; Let them not fall into darkness; But let Saint Michael the standard bearer Take them into the holy light, As you once promised to Abraham And to his seed.
HOSTIAS et preces tibi Domini 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 eius.	Sacrifices and prayers of praise We offer to you, Lord, Receive them for the souls of those We commemorate today. Cause them, O Lord, To pass from death to life, As you once promised to Abraham And to his seed.
SANCTUS, Sanctus, Sanctus, Dominus Deus Sabaoth. Pleni sunt coeli et terra gloria tua. Osanna in excelsis.	Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Hosts. Heaven and earth are full of Thy glory. Hosanna in the highest
Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini. Osanna in excelsis.	Blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona eis requiem sempiternam. Lux aeterna luceat eis Domine Cum sanctis tuis in aeternam Quia pius es Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine Et lux perpetua luceat eis Cum sanctis tuis in aeternam Quia pius es.	Lamb of God, Who takest away The sins of the world, Grant them eternal rest. Let light eternal shine upon them, Lord With your saints for ever, For you are good. Grant them eternal rest, Lord And may light perpetual shine upon them With your saints for ever, For you are good.
