DOMINE, JESU CHRISTE
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.
O 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
that hell engulf them not,
nor they fall into darkness.
But that Michael,
the holy standard bearer,
bring them into the holy light,
which Thou once didst promise
to Abraham and his seed.
We offer Thee, O Lord,
sacrifices and prayers of praise;
do Thou accept them
for those souls
whom we this day commemorate;
grant them, O Lord,
to pass from death to the life
which Thou once didst promise
to Abraham and his seed.
