Album: Requiem
Offertorio
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.
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.
Libera animas omnium fidelium defunctorum
de poenis iferni.
Fac eas, de morte transire ad vita.
Lord Jesus Christ, king of glory,
deliver the souls of all the faithful
departed
from the pains of hell,
and from the deep pit.
Deliver them from the lion's mouth,
lest hell swallow them up,
lest they fall into darkness;
and let the standard bearer, St. Michael,
bring them into the holy light.
Which Thou didst promise of old to Abraham
and his seed.
We offer Thee, o Lord,
a sacrifice of praise and prayer;
Accept them on behalf of the souls
we commemorate this day.
And let them, o Lord,
pass from death to life.
Which thou didst promise of old to Abraham
and his seed.
Deliver the souls of the faithful
from the pains of hell.
Let them pass from death to life.
