SEQUENCE SAID AT MASS

FOR THE DEAD

Dies iræ, dies illa,

Solvet sæclum in favilla;

Teste David cum Sibylla.

Quantus tremor est futurus,
Quando judex est venturus,
Cuncta stricte discussurus!

Tuba mirum spargens sonum
Per sepulchra regionum,
Coget omnes ante thronum.

Mors stupebit et natura,
Cum resurget Creatura,
Judicanti responsura.

Liber scriptus proferetur,
In quo totum continetur,
Unde mundus judicetur.

Forget not what my ransom cost,
Nor let my dear-bought soul be lost,
In storms of guilty terror toss'd.

Thou, who for me didst feel such pain,
Whose precious Blood the Cross did stain ;
Let not those agonies be vain.

Thou, whom avenging powers obey,
Cancel my debt (too great to pay)!
Before the sad accounting day.
Surrounded with amazing fears,

Whose load my soul with anguish bears,
I sigh, I weep: accept my tears.

Thou, who wast moved with Mary's grief,

And, by absolving of the thief

Hast given me hope, now give relief.
Reject not my unworthy prayer,

Preserve me from the dangerous snare,
Which Death and gaping Hell prepare.
Give my exalted soul a place

Among the chosen right-hand race,
The sons of God, and heirs of Grace.

From that insatiate abyss,

Where flames devour and serpents hiss,

Promote me to thy seat of bliss.
