[Choir:]

Requiem...

Kyrie Elesion

Gratia tua illis succurrente

Mereantur evadere judicium

Fac eas de morte transire ad vitam

Et in memoria aeterna erit

Requiem...


(Rest...

Lord, have mercy

By the help of Thy grace

May they be enabled to escape the judgement

Grant them to pass over from death to life

And they shall live in memory everlasting.

Rest...)


[Soprano Solo:]

Tantus labor non sit cassus

Ne me perdas


(Such travail must not be in vain

Do not let me be lost)


[Tenor Solo:]

Cor Contritum quasi cinis

Quem patronum rogarturus?

ne me perdas


(My heart is as though ground to ashes

To which protector shall I appeal?

Do not let me be lost)
