Absolve Domine - Catholic Requiem Mass (Funeral Mass) Chant

Details

Description

The "Absolve Domine" is a part of the Requiem Mass, sung after the "Requiem" and before "Dies Irae". I apologize for the poor quality of this recording, but I was inspired to upload it nonetheless. The "Absolve" seems to be difficult to find, especially one sung in this form. I hope you can be inspired as I am whenever I hear this beautiful song. May God bless you all, and may He have mercy on the souls in purgatory. The lyrics and translation follow:

Absolve, Domine,
animas omnium fidelium defunctorum
ab omni vinculo delictorum
et gratia tua illis succurente
mereantur evadere iudicium ultionis,
et lucis aeternae beatitudine perfrui.

Forgive, O Lord,
the souls of all the faithful departed
from all the chains of their sins
and by the aid to them of your grace
may they deserve to avoid the judgment of revenge,
and enjoy the blessedness of everlasting light.
