Text:

Libera me, Domine, de morte aeterna, in die illa tremenda: 
Quando caeli movendi sunt et terra.
Dum veneris judicare saeculum per ignem.
Tremens factus sum ego, et timeo,
Quando caeli movendi sunt et terra.

Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine. (Requiem aeternam)
No man hath greater love than this,
to lay down his life for his friends.

In paradisum deducant te Angeli:
et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Jerusalem.
Chorus Angelorum te suscipiat, aeternam habeas requiem. 
Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine,

Et lux perpetua luceat eis.

- Latin Requiem Mass, adapted by Timothy C. Takach 
- John 15:13
