May
the angels lead you into paradise . . . May the martyrs receive you . . .
May you have eternal rest
At the end of a
Requiem Mass for the dead, this hymn is sung by the choir as the casket is
carried from the church on its way to the cemetery.
Which version
do you want sung at your final Mass?
Gabriel Faure 's Requiem - In paradisum
Duruflé Requiem: IX - In
Paradisum
In Paradisum – Traditional
Catholic Requiem Mass
In Paradisum – Gregorian- Cistercian Monks Of Stift Heiligenkreuz
This is the traditional, simple and wonderful
Gregorian chant as found in the rites of the funeral Mass for the Roman Church.
The Latin lyrics and English translation follow:
In paradisum deducant te Angeli; in tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres, et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Ierusalem. Chorus angelorum te suscipiat, et cum Lazaro quondam paupere æternam habeas requiem.
May angels lead you into paradise; upon your arrival, may the martyrs receive you and lead you to the holy city of Jerusalem. May the ranks of angels receive you, and with Lazarus, the poor man, may you have eternal rest.
