Text and Translation:
 
 

Réquiem ætérnam dona éis, Dómine:
et lux perpétua lúceat éis.
In memória ætérna érit iústus:
ab auditióne mála non timébit.
Absólve, Dómine, ánimas ómnium fidélium
defunctórum ab ómni vínculo delictórum.
Et grátia túa íllis succurrénte mereántur evádere
judícium ultiónis.
Et lúcis ætérnae beatitúdine pérfrui.

Rest eternal grant them, O Lord;
and let light perpetual shine upon them.
The just man shall be remembered everlastingly:
he will not fear an evil hearing.
Absolve, O Lord, the souls of all the faithful
departed from every bond of sin.
And by the help of Thy grace may they be enabled to
escape the avenging judgement.
And enjoy the happiness of everlasting life.
