Language: Latin
Domine Iesu Christe, Rex gloriæ, libera animas omnium fidelium defunctorum de pœnis inferni et de profundo lacu. libera eas de ore leonis, ne absorbeat eas tartarus, ne cadant in obscurum; Sed signifer sanctus Michael repræsentet eas in lucem sanctam, quam olim Abrahæ promisisti Abrahae et semini eius. Hostias et preces tibi, Domine, laudis offerimus; tu suscipe pro animabus illis, quarum hodie memoriam facimus. Fac eas, Domine, de morte transire ad vitam. Quam olim Abrahæ promisisti et semini eius.
