1. Dies iræ, dies illa,
Solvet sæclum in favilla,
Teste David cum Sibylla.

2. Quantus tremor est futurus,
Quandò Judex est venturus,
Cuncta strictè discussurus!

3. Tuba mirum spargens sonum
Per sepulchra regionum,
Coget omnes ante thronum.

4. Mors stupebit, et natura,
Cùm resurget creatura,
Judicanti responsura.

5. Liber seriptus proferetur,
In quo totum continetur,
Undè mundus judicetus.

6. Judex ergò cùm sedebit,
Quidquid latet, apparebit:
Nîl inultum remanebit.

7. Quid sum miser tunc dicturus?
Quem patronum rogaturus?
Cùm vix justus sit securus.

8. Rex tremendæ majestatis,
Qui salvandos salvas gratìs,
Salva me, fons pietatis!

9. Recordare, Jesu pie,
Quòd sum causa tuæ víæ;
Ne me perdis illâ die!

10. Quærens me, sedisti lassus:
Redemisti, crucem passus;
Tantus labor non sit cassus.

11. Juste Judex ultionis,
Donum fac remissionis
Ante diem rationis.

12. Ingemisco tanquàm reus:
Culpâ rubet vultus meus:
Supplicanti parce, Deus.

13. Qui Mariam absolvisti,
Et latronem exaudisti,
Mihi quoque spem dedisti.

14. Preces maæ non sunt dignæ:
Sed tu bonus fac benignè,
Ne perenni cremer igne.

15. Inter oves locum præsta,
Et ab hœdis me sequestra,
Statuens in parte dextra.

16. Confutatis maledictis,
Flammis acribus addictis,
Voca me cum benedictis.

17. Ora supplex et acclinis,
Cor contritum quasi cinis,
Gere curam mei finis!

18. Lachrymosa dies illa,
Quâ resurget ex favilla
Judicandus homo reus.
Huic ergò parce, Deus:
Pie Jesu Domine,
Dona eis requium. Amen.

Note: The text from which this text was taken (see scan above) uses an archaic form of the letter "s" which is very similar to the letter "f." I've attempted to exercise great care, but that (and other) errors may have occurred. Also, since I do not know Latin, I'm unable to immediately spot obvious typing errors. I'd be grateful for any corrections. If you can help, please  me. Please indicate corrections by verse and line.
