lyrics
O Domine Iesu Christe, rex gloriæ,
libera animas defunctorum
de pœnis inferni, et de profundo lacu.
O Domine Iesu Christe, rex gloriæ,
Libera animas defunctorum de ore leonis,
ne absorbeat Tartarus,
ne cadant in obscurum.
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 Abrahæ promisisti, et semini eius.
O Domine Iesu Christe, rex gloriæ,
libera animas defunctorum
de pœnis inferni, et de profundo lacu.
O Domine Iesu Christe, rex gloriæ,
Libera animas defunctorum de ore leonis,
ne absorbeat Tartarus,
ne cadant in obscurum.
Amen.
O Lord Jesus Christ, king of glory,
deliver the souls of the dead
from the pains of hell, and from the deep lake.
O Lord Jesus Christ, king of glory,
Deliver the souls of the dead from the lion’s mouth,
let not Tartarus swallow them,
nor let them fall into darkness.
We offer prayers and sacrifices to thee, O Lord,
together with praise,
receive them in behalf of those souls
whom we this day commemorate.
Grant, O Lord, that they pass from death to life,
as thou didst promise to Abraham and to his seed.
O Lord Jesus Christ, king of glory,
deliver the souls of the dead
from the pains of hell, and from the deep lake.
O Lord Jesus Christ, king of glory,
Deliver the souls of the dead from the lion’s mouth,
let not Tartarus swallow them,
nor let them fall into darkness.
Amen.
