Text and Translation:
 
 


Dómine Jésu Chríste, Rex glóriae, líbera ánimas
ómnium fidélium defunctórum de póenis
inférni, et de profúndo lácu: líbera éas de óre
leónis, ne absórbeat éas tártarus, ne cádant in
obscúrum: sed sígnifer sánctus Míchael
repræséntet éas in lúcem sánctam:
Quam ólim Ábrahæ promisísti, et sémini éjus.
Hóstias et préces tíbi, Dómine, láudis offérimus:
tu súscipe pro animábus íllis, quárum hódie
memóriam fácimus: fac éas, Dómine, de mórte
transíre ad vítam:
Quam ólim Ábrahæ promisísti, et sémini éjus.


O Lord Jesus Christ, King of glory, deliver the souls of
all the faithful departed from the pains of hell and from
the bottomless pit: deliver them from the lion's mouth,
may hell not swallow them up, nor may they fall into
darkness: but may Saint Michael, the holy standardbearer,
bring them forth into the holy light:
As Thou once promised to Abraham and to his seed.
We offer prayers and sacrifice unto Thee, O Lord:
receive them on behalf of those souls whom we remember
this day: grant, O Lord, that they may pass over from
death into life:
As Thou once promised to Abraham and to his seed.
