| SEQUENCE 3. 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! | SEQUENCE 3. Dies irae Day of wrath, that dreadful day shall the world in ashes lay, as David and the Sibyl say. What horror must invade the mind, when the Judge shall come to examine all things closely! |
| 4. Tuba mirum Tuba mirum spargens sonumper 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? | 4. Tuba mirum The trumpet’s wondrous tone shall rend each tomb’s sepulchral stone, and summon all before the throne. Death and nature with surprise, behold the trembling sinners rise, to meet the Judge’s searching eyes. Then with universal dread, the book of consciences be read, to judge the lives of all the dead. For now before the Judge severe, all hidden things must plain appear, no crime can pass unpunished. So what shall I so guilty plead? and who for me will intercede, when even saints shall comfort need? |

| 6. 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,donum fac remissionisante 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. | 6. Recordare 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. Judge of justice for pity take my sins away before the dreadful reckoning day. I moan as one who is guilty: owning my shame with a red face; suppliant before you, Lord. You, who absolved Mary, and mercy for the robber find, 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. |
| 7. Confutatis Confutatis maledictis,flammis acribus addictis,voca me cum benedictus. Oro supplex et acclinis,cor contritum quasi cinis,gere curam mei finis. | 7. Confutatis 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. |
| 8. Lacrimosa Lacrimosa dies illa, qua resurget ex favillajudicandus homo reus. Huic ergo parce, Deus, pie Jesu Domine,dona eis requiem. Amen. | 8. Lacrimosa 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. |
