DURUFLÉ’S

I. : Requiem Aeternam Give them eternal rest, Lord, and may perpetual light shine on them. A hymn to you is fitting, O God, in Sion, and to you offerings are rendered in Jerusalem.

II. Eleison Lord, have mercy upon us; Christ, have mercy upon us; Lord, have mercy upon us.

III. : Domine Jesu Christe O Lord Jesus Christ, King of glory, deliver the souls of all the faithful departed from infernal suffering, and from the deep abyss; deliver them from the lion’s mouth, that the underworld not devour them, that they not sink into darkness. But let the standard- bearer Saint Michael represent them in holy light, as once you promised Abraham and his seed. Sacrifices and of praise we offer you, Lord; receive them for those we remember today; cause them, Lord, to cross over from death to life.

IV. Holy, holy, holy Lord God of hosts, heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.

V. Pie Jesu (from the Sequence) Holy Lord Jesus, give them rest. Give them eternal rest.

VI. Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, give them eternal rest.

VII. : Lux Aeterna Lord, may eternal light shine on them, with your saints in eternity, for you are righteous. Give them eternal rest, Lord, and may perpetual light shine on them.

VIII. Responsory after Absolution (Burial Service): Libera me Lord, deliver me from eternal death in that terrible day, when the heavens and earth are moved. I stand trembling, and I will be afraid until judgment will come and the wrath will have come, when the heavens and earth shall have been moved, when you will come to judge the world by fire; that day, the day of wrath, of calamity and misery, the great and intensely bitter day, when the heavens and earth shall be moved. Give them eternal rest, Lord, and may perpetual light shine on them.

IX. Antiphon (Burial Service): In Paradisum May the angels lead you into Paradise; may the martyrs receive you at your arrival and lead you into the holy city Jerusalem. May the choir of angels receive you, and may you, with the one-time pauper Lazarus, have eternal rest.
