Libera me Domine

Līberā mē, Domine, de morte æternā, in diē illa tremenda:
        Quandō cœli movendi sunt et terra.
        Dum veneris īudicāre sæculum per ignem.
        Tremēns factus sum ego, et timeō, dum discussio vēnerit, atque ventūra īra.
        Quandō cœlī movendi sunt et terra.
        Diēs illa, diēs īræ, calamitatis et miseriæ, diēs magna et amara valde.
        Dum veneris īudicāre sæculum per ignem.
        Requiem æternam dōnā eīs, Domine: et lūx perpetua lūceat eīs.

 

            Deliver me, O Lord, from death eternal on that fearful day,
            When the heavens and the earth shall be moved,
            When thou shalt come to judge the world by fire.
            I am made to tremble, and I fear, till the judgment be upon us, and the coming wrath,
            When the heavens and the earth shall be moved.
            That day, day of wrath, calamity, and misery, day of great and exceeding bitterness,
            When thou shalt come to judge the world by fire.
            Rest eternal grant unto them, O Lord: and let light perpetual shine upon them.
