Hostias
Latin source: Liturgical

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.

Sacrifices
English translation © Anon.

We offer unto Thee praise with sacrifices and prayers.
Do Thou accept them for those souls
whose memory we keep today.
Grant them, O Lord, to pass from death to the life
that Thou hast promised once to Abraham and his seed.
