Lacrimosa dies illa, 
Qua resurget ex favilla 
Judicandus homo reus. 

Huic ergo parce, Deus : 
Pie Jesu Domine, 
Dona eis requiem. 

Ah! that day of tears and mourning! 
From the dust of earth returning, 
Man for judgement must prepare him: 

Spare, O God, in mercy spare him! 
Lord, all pitying, Jesu blest, 
Grant them Thine eternal rest.
