Feast of All Souls

On the occasion of All Souls Day ( and in Mexico Day of the Dead)

"Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Te decet hymnus Deus, in Sion,
et tibi reddetur votum in Ierusalem.
Exaudi orationem meam;ad te omnis caro veniet.
Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis."

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord ,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
A hymn becomes you, O God, in Zion,
and to you shall a vow be repaid in Jerusalem.
Hear my prayer;to you shall all flesh come.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them
