Libera me, Domine, de morte aeterna
in die illa tremenda,
quando coeli movendi sunt et terra,
dum veneris judicare saeculum per ignem.
Tremens factus sum ego et timeo,
dum discussio venerit atque venture ira:
quando coeli movendi sunt et terra.
Dies irae, dies illa,
calamitatis et miseriae,
dies magna et amara valde,
dum veneris judicare saeculum per ignem.
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Libera me, Domine, etc.

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 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.
Lord, grant them eternal rest,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
Deliver me, O Lord, etc.
