Sed signifer sanctus Michael repræsentet eas
inlucem sanctam. Quam olim Abrahæ promisisti
et semini ejus.
Hostias et preces tibi, Domine, laudis offerimus.

memoriam facimus. Fac eas, Domine, de morte
transire ad vitam.
Quam olim Abrahæ promisisti et semini ejus.

III. Domine Jesu Christe
O Lord Jesus Christ, King of Glory, deliver the
souls of all the faithful departed from the pains of
hell and from the bottomless pit.
Save them from the lion's jaws, that hell may not
engulf them, that they may not fall into darkness,
but let Saint Michael the standard-bearer lead
them into the holy light which Thou of old didst
promise to Abraham and to his seed.
Sacrifices and prayers of praise to Thee, O Lord,
we offer. Do Thou receive them on behalf of those
souls whom this day we commemorate. Grant
them. O Lord, to pass from death unto life,
which Thou of old didst promise to Abraham and
to his seed.
