OFFERTORIUM
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 Michaël representet eas in lucem sanctam, quam olim Abrahae promisisti et semini eius. 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 eius.
Lord Jesus Christ, King of glory, deliver the souls of all the faithful departed from punishments of hell, and from the deep lake. Deliver them from the mouth of the lion, may the abyss not swallow them up, may they not fall into darkness. But may the holy standard-bearer Michael lead them to that holy light which of old you did promise Abraham and his seed. Sacrifices and prayers we offer to Thee with praise, O Lord. Receive them for the souls of those whom today we commemorate. Grant them, O Lord, passage from death to life, which of old you did promise Abraham and his seed.
SANCTUS
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus, Dominus Deus Sabaoth. Pleni sunt coeli et terra gloria tua. Osanna in excelsis.
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts. Heaven and earth are full of thy glory. Hosanna in the highest.
Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini. Osanna in excelsis.
Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.
PIE JESU
Pie Jesu Domine, Dona eis requiem sempiternam.
Sweet Lord Jesus, Grant them everlasting rest.
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 take away the sins of the world, grant them rest. Lamb of God, who take away the sins of the world, grant them everlasting rest.
LIBERA ME
Libera me, Domine, de morte aeterna in die illa tremenda quando coeli movendi sunt et terra dum veneris judicare saeculum per ignem.
Deliver me, O Lord, from eternal death, upon that fearful day when the heavens and earth shall shake, when you will come to judge the world with fire.
Tremens factus sum ego et timeo, dum discussio venerit atque ventura ira. Dies irae, dies illa, calamitatis et miseriae, dies magna et amara valde. Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis.
I am made to tremble and I fear, when the desolation and wrath shall come. That day, the day of wrath, calamity, and misery, that terrible, bitter day. Rest eternal grant them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine on them.

Will the stone heads that weep in the late afternoon fade away? Without you, how will we weep when we need to? How will the earth smell after the last drops of rain? —William O’Daly In Franconia Gorge Lacrimosa dies illa, Qua resurget ex favilla. Judicandus homo reus: Huic ergo parce, Deus.
Full of tears shall be that day when from the ashes shall arise the guilty man to be judged: Spare us by your mercy, Lord.
