Lyrics
In paradísum dedúcant te ángeli:
in tuo advéntu suscípiant te mártyres,
et perdúcant te in civitátem sanctam Jerúsalem.
Chorus angelórum te suscípiat,
et cum Lázaro quondam páupere
aetérnam hábeas réquiem.
May choirs of angels escort you into paradise:
and at your arrival may the martyrs receive and welcome you;
may they bring you home into the holy city, Jerusalem.
May the holy angels welcome you,
and with Lazarus, who lived in poverty,
may you have everlasting rest.
