I. Introitus

Requiem aeternam:

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

Eternal rest give unto them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
A hymn, O God, becometh Thee in Zion;
and a vow shall be paid to Thee in Jerusalem:
hear my prayer;
all flesh shall come to Thee.
Eternal rest give unto them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.

II. Kyrie

Kyrie eleison:

Kyrie, eleison.
Christe, eleison.
Kyrie, eleison.

Lord, have mercy on us.
Christ, have mercy on us.
Lord, have mercy on us.

III. Sequentia

Dies irae:

Dies irae, dies illa
Solvet saeclum in favilla,
teste David cum Sibylla.
Quantus tremor est futurus,
quando judex est venturus,
cuncta stricte discussurus!

Day of wrath, day of anger
will dissolve the world in ashes,
as foretold by David and the Sibyl.
Great trembling there will be
when the Judge descends from heaven
to examine all things closely!

Tuba mirum:

Tuba mirum spargens sonum per sepulcra regionum,
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 justus sit securus?

The trumpet will send its wondrous sound throughout earth’s sepulchres
and gather all before the throne.
Death and nature will be astounded, when all creation rises again,
to answer the judgement.
A book will be brought forth, in which all will be written,
by which the world will be judged.
When the judge takes his place, what is hidden will be revealed,
nothing will remain unavenged.
What shall a wretch like me say?
Who shall intercede for me,
when the just ones need mercy?

Rex tremendae:

Rex tremendae majestatis,
qui salvandos salvas gratis,
salve me, fons pietatis.

King of tremendous majesty,
who freely saves those worthy ones,
save me, source of mercy.

Recordare:

Recordare, Jesu pie, quod sum causa tuae viae;
ne me perdas illa die.
Quaerens me, sedisti lassus,
redemisti crucem passus; tantus labor non sit cassus.
Juste judex ultionis,
bonum fac remissionis ante diem rationis.
Ingemisco, tamquam reus:
culpa rubet vultus meus; supplicanti parce, Deus.
Qui Mariam absolvisti, et latronem exaudisti,
mihi quoque spem dedisti.
Preces meae non sunt dignae, sed tu,
bonus, fac benigne, ne perenni cremer igne.
Inter oves locum praesta,
Et ab haedis me sequestra,
Statuens in parte dextra.

Remember, kind Jesus, my salvation caused your suffering;
do not forsake me on that day.
Faint and weary you have sought me,
redeemed me, suffering on the cross; may such great effort not be in vain.
Righteous judge of vengeance,
grant me the gift of absolution before the day of retribution.
I moan as one who is guilty:
owning my shame with a red face; suppliant before you, Lord.
You, who absolved Mary, and listened to the thief,
give me hope also.
My prayers are unworthy, but,
good Lord, have mercy, and rescue me from eternal fire.
Provide me a place among the sheep,
and separate me from the goats,
guiding me to Your right hand.

Confutatis:

Confutatis maledictis,
flammis acribus addictis,
voca me cum benedictis.

Oro supplex et acclinis,
cor contritum quasi cinis,
gere curam mei finis.

When the accused are confounded,
and doomed to flames of woe,
call me among the blessed.

I kneel with submissive heart,
my contrition is like ashes,
help me in my final condition.

Lacrimosa:

Lacrimosa dies illa,
qua resurget ex favilla judicandus homo reus.
Huic ergo parce, Deus, pie Jesu Domine,
dona eis requiem.
Amen.

That day of tears and mourning,
when from the ashes shall arise, all humanity to be judged.
Spare us by your mercy, Lord, gentle Lord Jesus,
grant them eternal rest.
Amen.

IV. Offertorium

Domine Jesu:

Domine Jesu Christe, Rex gloriae,
libera animas omnium fidelium defunctorum de poenis inferni
et de profundo lacu.
Libera eas 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 ejus.

Lord Jesus Christ, King of glory,
Liberate the souls of the faithful departed from the pains of hell
and from the bottomless pit.
Deliver them from the lion’s mouth,
lest hell swallow them up
lest they fall into darkness.

Let the standard-bearer, holy Michael,
bring them into holy light.
Which was promised to Abraham and his descendants.

Hostias:

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.

Sacrifices and prayers of praise, Lord, we offer to You.
Receive them in behalf of those souls
we commemorate today. And let them, Lord,
pass from death to life,
which was promised to Abraham and his descendants.

V. Sanctus

Sanctus:

Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus
Dominus Deus Sabaoth!
Pleni sunt coeli et terra gloria tua
Hosanna in excelsis!

Holy, holy, holy,
Lord God of Sabaoth.
Heaven and earth are full of Thy glory.
Hosanna in the highest.

Agnus Dei:

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

Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world,
grant them rest.
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world,
grant them everlasting rest.

VIII. Communio

Lux aeterna:

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.

Let eternal light shine on them, Lord,
as with Your saints in eternity, because You are merciful.
Grant them eternal rest, Lord,
and let perpetual light shine on them,
as with Your saints in eternity, because You are merciful.
