In paradisum deducant te angeli: in tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres, et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Ierusalem.

Chorus angelorum te suscipiat, et cum Lazaro, 

quondam paupere, aeternam habeas requiem. 

May The Angels lead you into Paradise:

May The Martyrs receive you at your coming,

And lead you into The Holy City, Jerusalem.

May The Choir of Angels receive you,

and, with Lazarus, who once was poor,

May you have Everlasting Rest.

“In Paradisum”. 

By: Gabriel Fauré.
