Lyrics

[Verse]
Domine, Jesu Christe, Rex gloriae,
Libera animas 
Omnium fidelium defunctorum
De poenis inferni 
Et de profundo lacu.

[Chorus]
Fac eas, Domine, de morte (fac eas de morte)
Transire ad vitam. (fac eas de morte)
Quam olim Abrahae promisisti (fac eas de morte)
Et semine eius. (fac eas de morte)

[Verse 2]
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 eius.

[Chorus]
Fac eas, Domine, de morte (transire ad vitam)
Transire ad vitam. (transire ad vitam)
Quam olim Abrahae promisisti (transire ad vitam)
Et semine eius. (transire ad vitam)

[Verse 3]
Hostias et preces tibi, Domine
Laudis offerimus
Tu suscipe pro animabus illis,
Quarum hodie memoriam facimus.

[Chorus]
Fac eas, Domine, de morte (transire ad vitam)
Transire ad vitam. (fac eas de morte)
Quam olim Abrahae promisisti (transire ad vitam)
Et semine eius. (fac eas de morte)

[Outro]
Fac eas, Domine, de morte
Transire ad vitam.
Quam olim Abrahae promisisti
Et semine eius.

Translation: [Verse] Lord Jesus Christ, king of glory, Deliver the souls of all the faithful departed From the pains of Hell And the bottomless pit. [Verse 2] Deliver them from the jaws of the lion, Lest hell engulf them, Lest they be plunged into darkness; But let the holy standard-bearer Michael Lead them into the holy light, As once you promised to Abraham And to his seed. [Verse 3] Lord, in praise we offer you Sacrifices and prayers, Accept them on behalf of those Who we remember this day: [Chorus] Lord, make them pass From death to life, As once you promised to Abraham And to his seed.
