Libera Me from Fauré’s RequiemGabriel Fauré (1845-1924)

Trembling, trembling I stand before Thee;In fear and dread, fear and dread:

Thy wrath shall descend on the earth and bring all flesh to desolation.

Day of trial, day of judgment;Death and destruction, torment and distress:

Day of anger, day of vengeance;Day of mourning, of woe and bitter grief.

Rest eternal grant them;Lord our God, we pray to thee,

And light perpetual shine ever on them.Lord, I pray deliver me from death’s

everlasting fire on that great Day of judgement;

On that last dreadful day: When the earth and the heavens shall shake;

When the earth and heavens shall shake and tremble;

And thou shalt come with thy mighty fire of judgement.

Lord I pray deliver me from death everlasting.

Deliver me, Lord I pray.
