I. INTROIT: REQUIEM
Grant them eternal rest, Lord,
and let perpetual light shine on them.
Your praise is sung, God, in Zion,
and homage will be paid to You in Jerusalem.
Hear my prayer,
to You all flesh will come.
Grant them eternal rest, Lord,
and let perpetual light shine on them.

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

III. SEQUENCE
(Dies irae)
Day of wrath: on that day
the world will dissolve in ashes,
as foretold by David and the Sibyl.

How great the trembling will be
when the Judge descends from heaven
to examine all things strictly.

(Tuba mirum)
The trumpet’s sound scattering
Through the tombs of the earth
will gather all before the throne.

Death and Nature will be astounded,
when all Creation rises again,
to answer the judgment.

A book will be brought forth,
in which all will be written,
by which the world will be judged.

When the Judge takes his seat,
all that is hidden will be revealed,
nothing will remain unavenged.

What could a wretch like me say then?
Who shall intercede for me,
when even the righteous need mercy?

(Rex tremendae)
King of tremendous majesty,
who freely saves the redeemed,
save me, fountain of mercy.

(Recordare)
Remember, blessed Jesus,
my salvation caused your suffering; do
not forsake me on that day.

You have sought me, faint and weary,
redeemed me, suffering on the cross;
may such great effort not be in vain.

Righteous judge of vengeance,
grant me the gift of forgiveness before
the day of reckoning.

I moan as one who is guilty:
Shame reddens my face;
I am a 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,
let me not burn in eternal fire.

Among the sheep let me take my place,
and separate me from the goats,
setting me by Your right hand.

(Confutatis)
As the accused are confounded,
doomed to flames of woe,
call me among the blessed.

Bowing, I pray in humility,
my heart crushed to dust,
help me in my final hour.

(Lacrimosa)
That mournful day,
when from the ashes shall arise
all humanity to be judged.
Spare us by your mercy, Lord,
gentle Lord Jesus,
grant eternal rest.

IV. OFFERTORIUM
(Domine Jesu)
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 they be swallowed up in hell,
lest they fall into darkness,
but let Your standard-bearer, holy Michael,
bring them into holy light,
which was promised to Abraham
and his descendants.

(Hostias)
Sacrifices and prayers of praise, Lord,
we offer to You.
Receive them on 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
Holy, Holy, Holy,
Lord God of Hosts.
Heaven and earth are full of Your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.

VI. BENEDICTUS
Blessed are they who come the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.

VII. AGNUS DEI
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 rest.
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins
of the world,
grant them eternal rest.

VIII. COMMUNIO
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.
