Fauré Requiem, op. 48

I. Introit and Kyrie (Chorus)
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine:
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Te decet hymnus Deus in Sion,
et tibi reddetur votum
in Jerusalem:
Exaudi orationem meam
ad te omnis caro veniet.
Kyrie eleison.
Christe eleison.

II. Offertory (Baritone and Chorus)
O Domine Jesu Christe, Rex gloriae,
libera animas defunctorum
de poenis inferni et de profundo lacu,
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 Abrahae promisisti
et semini ejus. Amen.

III. Sanctus (Chorus)
Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus,
Dominus Deus Sabaoth!
Pleni sunt coeli et terra gloria tua.
Hosanna in excelsis.

IV. Pie Jesu (Soprano)
Pie Jesu, Domine,
dona eis requiem;
dona eis sempiternam requiem.

V. Agnus Dei (Chorus)
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi,
dona eis requiem.
Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine:
cum sanctis tuis in aeternum:
quia pius es.
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis.

VI. Libera Me (Baritone and Chorus)
Libera me, Domine, de morte aeterna,
in die illa tremenda:
Quando coeli movendi sunt et terra:
Dum veneris judicare saeculum
per ignem.
Tremens factus sum ego, et timeo
dum discussio venerit,
atque ventura ira.
Dies illa, dies irae,
calamitatis et miseriae,
dies magna et amara valde.
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Libera me, Domine, libera.

VII. In Paradisum (Chorus)
In paradisum deducant te angeli:
in tuo adventu
suscipiant te martyres,
et perducant te
in civitatem sanctam Jerusalem.
Chorus angelorum te suscipiat,
et cum Lazaro quondam paupere
aeternam habeas requiem.

 
Grant them eternal rest, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine on them.
A hymn befits Thee, O God in Sion,
and unto Thee shall a vow be fulfilled
in Jerusalem.
Hear my prayer
for unto Thee shall all flesh come.
Lord have mercy.
Christ have mercy.


O Lord Jesus Christ, King of Glory
liberate the souls of the departed
from the pains of hell and from the deep pit
from the mouth of the lion;
neither let hell swallow them up,
nor let them fall into darkness.
Sacrifices and prayers of praise, Lord,
we offer to Thee.
Receive them on behalf of those souls
whose memory we recall today.
Grant them, Lord,
to pass from death unto life,
as once Thou promised to Abraham
and to his seed. Amen.


Holy, holy, holy,
Lord God of Hosts!
Heaven and earth are full of Thy glory.
Hosanna in the highest.


Blessed Jesus, Lord,
grant them rest;
grant them eternal rest.


Lamb of God, who takest away the sins
of the world, grant them rest.
May eternal light shine upon them, O Lord,
with Thy saints forever;
for Thou art merciful.
Grant them eternal rest, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.


Deliver me, O Lord, from death eternal,
on that dreadful day:
when the heavens and the earth shall quake,
when Thou shalt come to judge the world
by fire.
I am seized by trembling, and I fear
the judgement to come,
as well as the coming wrath.
That day, day of wrath,
of calamity and misery,
that momentous day, and exceedingly bitter
Grant them eternal rest, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
Deliver me, O Lord, deliver me.


May the Angels lead you into paradise;
Upon your arrival
may the Martyrs welcome you,
and lead you
into the holy city of Jerusalem.
May a choir of angels welcome you,
and, with poor Lazarus of old,
may you have eternal rest.
