Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine:
Cum Sanctis tuis in aeternum:
quia pius es.
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine:
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Cum Sanctis tuis in aeternum:
quia pius es.

May light eternal shine upon them, O Lord,
with Thy Saints for evermore,
for Thou art gracious.
Eternal rest give to them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
With Thy Saints for evermore,
for Thou art gracious.
