1
Dies iræ! Dies illa
Solvet sæclum in favilla
Teste David cum Sibylla!
2
Quantus tremor est futurus
Quando judex est venturus
Cuncta stricte discussurus!
3
Tuba mirum spargens sonum
Per sepulchra regionum
Coget omnes ante thronum
4
Mors stupebit et natura
Cum resurget creatura
Judicanti responsura
5
Liber scriptus proferetur
In quo totum continetur
Unde mundus judicetur
6
Judex ergo cum sedebit
Quidquid latet apparebit
Nil inultum remanebit
7
Quid sum miser tunc dicturus?
Quem patronum rogaturus
Cum vix justus sit securus?
8
Rex tremendæ majestatis
Qui salvandos salvas gratis
Salva me, fons pietatis
9
Recordare, Jesu pie
Quod sum causa tuæ viæ
Ne me perdas illa die
10
Quærens me, sedisti lassus
Redemisti Crucem passus
Tantus labor non sit cassus
11
Juste judex ultionis
Donum fac remissionis
Ante diem rationis
12
Ingemisco, tamquam reus
Culpa rubet vultus meus
Supplicanti parce, Deus
13
Qui Mariam absolvisti
Et latronem exaudisti
Mihi quoque spem dedisti
14
Preces meæ non sunt dignæ
Sed tu bonus fac benigne
Ne perenni cremer igne
15
Inter oves locum præsta
Et ab hædis me sequestra
Statuens in parte dextra
16
Confutatis maledictis
Flammis acribus addictis
Voca me cum benedictis
17
Oro supplex et acclinis
Cor contritum quasi cinis
Gere curam mei finis
18
Lacrimosa dies illa
Qua resurget ex favilla
Judicandus homo reus
19
Huic ergo parce, Deus
Pie Jesu Domine
Dona eis requiem. Amen
