Lyrics:

I heard a voice from heaven 

saying unto me, "Blessed.

Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, 

for they rest from their labor."

Even so sayeth the Spirit.

They Rest.

(Latin)

Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine,

cum sanctis tuis in aeternum,

quia pius es.

Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, 

et lux perpetua luceat eis.

(English translation)

Let perpetual light shine upon them, O Lord, 

with your saints for ever, 

for you are merciful. 

Grant them eternal rest, O Lord, 

and let perpetual light shine upon them.
