Text and Translation:
 
 

In paradísum dedúcant te Ángeli:
in túo advéntu suscípiant te Mártyres,
et perdúcant te in civitátem sánctam Jerúsalem.
Chórus Angelórum te suscípiat,
et cum Lázaro quóndam p
áupere
ætérnam hábeas réquiem.


May Angels lead you into Paradise:
may the Martyrs welcome you on your arrival,
and guide you into the holy city of Jerusalem.
May a choir of angels receive you,
and with Lazarus, who was once poor,
may you have eternal peace.
