Songs

Domine Jesu Christe, Rex gloriae,
Lord Jesus Christ, King of glory,
libera animas omniurn fidelium defunctorum
deliver the souls of all the faithful departed
de poenis inferni, et de profundo lacu:
from the punishments of hell and from the bottomless pit.
libera eas de ore leonis,
Deliver them from the mouth of the lion,
ne absorbeat eas tartarus, ne cadant in obscurum,
and let not Tartarus swallow them up nor let them fall into darkness.
sed signifer sanctus Michael
But let St Michael, Thy standard-bearer,
repraesentet eas in lucem sanctam,
bring them back again into the holy light
quam olim Abrahae promisisti et semini ejus.
that Thou hast promised once to Abraham and his seed.
