Libera me, Domine, 
de morte aeterna 
in die illa tremenda,
quando cœli movendi sunt et terra;
dum veneris iudicare 
sæculum per ignem.
 
Tremens factus sum ego, 
et timeo, 
dum discussio venerit 
atque ventura ira.
 
Dies illa, dies iræ, 
calamitatis et miseriæ,
dies magna et amara valde.
 
Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine;
et lux perpetua luceat eis.

    Set to music by Giuseppe Verdi (1813 - 1901), "Libera me", first performed 1874 [ soli, chorus, orchestra ], in Messa da Requiem
