Requiescat a labore
Language: Latin 
Requiescat a labore
Doloroso et amore !
Unionem coelitum 
Flagitavit,
Jam intravit 
Salvatoris aditum. 

In obscura tumbae cella
Alma micat justo stella,
Instar ipse siderum
Refulgebit,
Dum videbit
In fulgore Dominum.

Sanctae animae, favete, 
Consolare, Paraclete,
Audim ? sonat gaudia, 
Cantilena
Et amoena
Angelorum cythara:

Requiescat a labore
Doloroso et amore !
Unionem coelitum 
Flagitavit,
Jam intravit 
Salvatoris aditum.
