I Offer You the Offertory

We don’t play music like this during the presentation of the offerings during the Mass I attend, but it would be a nice improvement.

IV. Offertory of the Requiem Mass


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.
 
Lord Jesus Christ, King of glory,
liberate the souls of the faithful,
departed from the pains of hell
and from the bottomless pit.
Deliver them from the lion's mouth,
lest hell swallow them up,
lest they fall into darkness.

 
Let the standard-bearer, holy Michael,
bring them into holy light.

 
Which was promised to Abraham
and his descendants.


Hostias et preces tibi, Domine,
laudis offerimus.
Tu sucipe pro animabus illis,
quaram hodie memoriam facimus.
Fac eas, Domine,
de morte transire ad vitam,
Quam olim Abrahae promisisti
et semini ejus.
 
Sacrifices and prayers of praise, Lord,
we offer to You.
Receive them in behalf of those souls
we commemorate today.
And let them, Lord,
pass from death to life,
which was promised to Abraham
and his descendants.
