ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
PREFACE
V. World without end. R. Amen
V. May the Lord be with you.
R. And with thy spirit.
V. Lift up your hearts.
R. We have lifted them up to the Lord.
V. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
R. It is meet and right to do so.
V. It is truly just, right and availing unto salvation,
that we should always and in all places give thanks to you,
O holy Lord, Father almighty, and everlasting God;
through Christ our Lord.
Through whom the angels praise your majesty,
the dominions worship it, and the powers stand in awe.
The heavens and the heavenly hosts with the blessed
seraphim join together in celebrating their joy.
With these we pray Thee join our voices also,
while we say with lowly praise:
SANCTUS, BENEDICTUS
Holy, holy, holy,
Lord God of Hosts.
The heavens and earth are filled
with Thy glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest
AGNUS DEI
Lamb of God
who takes away the sins of the world,
Grant them eternal rest.
Eternal rest.
RESPONSE FOR THE DEAD
Remember not O Lord my sins, whilst thou shalt come to
judge the world by fire.
Direct O Lord my God my way in thy sight. Whilst thou
shalt come to judge the world by fire.
Eternal rest give unto them O Lord:
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
Whilst thou shalt come to judge the world by fire.
Lord, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.
DISMISSAL
V. May he rest in peace.
R. Amen.
PRAYER OVER THE TOMB
Deliver me, O Lord, from death eternal
in that awful day.
When the heavens and the earth shall be moved:
When Thou shalt come to judge the world by fire.
O that day, that day of wrath,
of sore distress and of all wretchedness,
that great day and exceeding bitter.
When the heavens . . .
Dread and trembling have laid hold on me, and I fear
exceedingly because of the judgment and of the wrath to
come.
When Thou shalt . . .
Eternal rest grant unto him), O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon him.
Deliver me . . .
Lord, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.
