Domine Jesu Christe, Rex gloriae,
libera animas omnium fidelium
defunctorum de poenis inferni
et de profundo lacu.
Libera eas de ore leonis,
ne absorbeat eas 
Tartarus,
ne cadant in obscurum.
Sed signifer sanctus 
Michael
repraesentet eas in 
lucem sanctam.
Quam olim Abrahae promisisti 
et semini ejus.

Hostias et preces tibi, Domine,
laudis offerimus.
Tu suscipe pro animabus illis,
quaram hodie memoriam facimus.
Fac eas, Domine,
de morte transire ad vitam.
Quam olim Abrahae promisisti 
et semini ejus.
Lord Jesus Christ, Glorious King,
Deliver the souls of all the faithful
departed from the pains of Hell
and from the fathomless lake.
Deliver them from the lion's jaws,
that they be neither devoured by 
the depths of Hell,
nor swallowed into darkness.
Thus, the holy standard-bearer 
Michael
may usher them into 
the sacred light.
As once was promised Abraham 
and his heirs.

Sacrifices and prayers to You, O Lord,
we offer in praise.
Accept them on behalf of those souls
whom today we commemorate.
Permit them, O Lord,
to pass beyond death into life.
As once was promised Abraham 
and his heirs.
