Libera me

Original (author unknown):

Libera me, Domine,
de morte æterna
in die illa tremenda
quando cœli movendi sunt et terra
dum veneris judicare sæculum per ignem.

Tremens factus sum ego et timeo,
dum discussio venerit
atque ventura ira.

Dies illa, dies iræ
calamitatis et miseriæ,
dies magna et amara valde.

Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis.

Translation:

Deliver me, O Lord,
From eternal death
On that day of fearful trembling
When the heavens are to be moved, and the Earth
Until you come to judge the world with fire.

To tremble am I made, and to fear,
Until the judgment will come
And the wrath, too, is nigh.

That day, that day of wrath, of calamity and of misery,
That great and exceedingly bitter day.

Eternal repose give them, O Lord,
And light perpetual illumine them.
