Domine, Jesu Christe, Rex gloriæ (Offertory) Gregorian chant for Mass for the Dead

*New Requiem album coming soon!!!*
This is the Offertory from the Requiem mass (Mass for the dead) that you might hear at Traditional Latin funerals. It reads,

Lord Jesus Christ, King of glory,
free the souls of all the faithful departed
from infernal punishment and the deep pit.
Free them from the mouth of the lion;
do not let Tartarus swallow them,
nor let them fall into darkness;
but may the sign-bearer, Saint Michael,
lead them into the holy light
which you promised to Abraham and his seed.

O Lord, we offer you
sacrifices and prayers in praise;
accept them on behalf of the souls
whom we remember today.
Make them pass over from death to life,
as you promised to Abraham and his seed.

Many a time in Schola I've forgotten that the end of this piece repeats - and not only that, the part it repeats to is on the previous page of the liber buuuut is also copied out on the present page, so there is always an element of scrambling and shuffling about with the book that can spoil the moment... :)

𓃴 Like the Hart longing after the founts of water, so does my soul yearn for you, O God...

Domine, Jesu Christe, Rex gloriæ,
libera animas omnium fidelium defunctorum
de pœnis inferni et de profundo lacu.
Libera eas de ore leonis,
ne absorbeat eas tartarus,
ne cadant in obscurum;
sed signifer sanctus Michæl
repræsentet eas in lucem sanctam,
quam olim Abrahæ promisisti et semini ejus.

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 Abrahæ promisisti et semini ejus.
