I. Requiem

Requiem aeternam

Lord, grant them eternal rest,
and let the perpetual light shine upon them. 
Thou shalt have praise in Zion, of God, 
and homage shall be paid to Thee in Jerusalem. 
Hear my prayer. 
All flesh come before Thee. 
Lord, grant them eternal rest, 
and let the perpetual light shine upon them. 
Lord, have mercy upon us; 
Christ, have mercy upon us.

II. Dies irae

Dies irae

This day, this day of wrath
shall consume the world in ashes, 
as foretold by David and the Sibyl. 
What trembling there shall be
when the judge shall come
to weigh everything strictly. 

Tuba mirum

The trumpet, scattering its awful sound
across the graves of all lands, 
summons all before the throne. 
Death and nature shall be stunned
when mankind arises
to render account before the judge.

Liber scriptus

The written book shall be brought
in which all is contained
whereby the world shall be judged. 
When the judge takes his seat
all that is hidden shall appear, 
nothing will remain unavenged. 

Quid sum miser

What shall I, a wretch, say then?
To which protector shall I appeal
when even the just man is barely safe?

Rex tremendae

King of awful majesty, 
who freely savest those worthy of salvation, 
save me, fount of pity.

Recordare

Remember, gentle Jesus, 
that I am the reason for Thy time on earth, 
do not cast me out on that day. 
Seeking me, Thou didst sink down wearily, 
Thou hast saved me by enduring the cross, 
such travail must not be in vain. 
Righteous judge of vengeance, 
award the gift of forgiveness
before the day of reckoning.

Ingemisco

I groan, like the sinner that I am, 
guilt reddens my face, 
Oh God, spare the supplicant. 
Thou, who pardoned Mary
and heeded the thief, 
hast given me hope as well. 
My prayers are unworthy
but Thou, good one, in pity
let me not burn in the eternal fire. 
Give me a place among the sheep
and separate me from the goats, 
let me stand at Thy right hand. 

Confutatis

When the damned are cast away
and consigned to the searing flames, 
call me to be with the blessed. 
Bowed down in supplication I beg Thee, 
my heart as though ground to ashes: 
help me in my last hour.

Lacrimosa

Oh this day full of tears
when from the ashes arises
guilty man, to be judged: 
Oh Lord, have mercy upon him. 
Gentle Lord Jesus,  
grant them rest. 
Amen. 

III. Offertorio

Domine Jesu Christe

Lord Jesus Christ, king of glory, 
deliver the souls of the faithful departed
from the pains of hell
and the bottomless pit. 
Deliver them from the jaws of the lion, 
lest hell engulf them, 
lest they be plunged into darkness; 
but let the holy standard-bearer Michael
lead them into the holy light, 
as Thou didst promise Abraham
and his seed.

Lord, in praise we offer to Thee
sacrifices and prayers, 
do Thou receive them for the souls of those
whom we remember this day: 
Lord, make them pass
from death to life, 
as Thou didst promise Abraham
and his seed. 

IV. Sanctus

Sanctus

Holy, holy, holy, 
Lord God of hosts!
Heaven and earth are full of Thy glory. 
Glory to God in the highest!
Blessed is He who cometh in the name of the Lord. 
Glory to God in the highest!

V. Agnus Dei

Agnus Dei

Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world, 
grant them rest. 
Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world, 
grant them eternal rest.

VI. Lux Aeterna

Lux Aeterna

May eternal light shine upon them, O Lord, 
with Thy saints forever, 
for Thou art good. 
Lord, grant them eternal rest
and let perpetual light shine upon them
with Thy saints forever, 
for Thou art good. 

VII. Libera me

Libera me

Deliver me, O Lord, from eternal death
in that awful day
when the heavens and earth shall be shaken, 
when Thou shalt come to judge the world by fire. 

I am seized with fear and trembling, 
until the trial shall be at hand and the wrath to come: 
when the heavens and the earth shall be shaken.

That day, that day of wrath, 
of calamity and misery, 
a great day and exceeding bitter, 
when Thou shalt come to judge the world by fire.

Eternal rest, O Lord, grant unto them, 
and let the light perpetual shine upon them. 

Deliver me, O Lord, etc.
