"Dies Irae" translates to "Day of Wrath" and is a latin 'Sequence' attributed to either Thomas of Celano of the Franciscans (1200–1265) or to Latino Malabranca Orsini (d. 1294), lector at the Dominican studium at Santa Sabina. It highlights the horrowing events surrounding the End Times found in Sacred Scripture and the heavy judgement all must face on this last day.

This piece has been used in the Traditional Roman Rite for Requiem (Funeral) Mass for centuries, only being removed from the rite in the 1960's.

This is one of the Catholic Church's most beautiful chants and has been used many times in modern day movies and pop culture, exemplifying the universal beauty of the Church that appeals to people of all times.


---- Latin Lyrics ----
Dies iræ, dies illa
Solvet sæclum in favilla
Teste David cum Sibylla

Quantus tremor est futurus
Quando Judex est venturus
Cuncta stricte discussurus!

Tuba mirum spargens sonum
Per sepulchra regionum
Coget omnes ante thronum

Mors stupebit et natura
Cum resurget creatura
Judicanti responsura

Liber scriptus proferetur
In quo totum continetur
Unde mundus judicetur

Judex ergo cum sedebit
Quidquid latet apparebit:
Nil inultum remanebit

Quid sum miser tunc dicturus?
Quem patronum rogaturus
Cum vix justus sit securus?
Rex tremendæ majestatis
Qui salvandos salvas gratis
Salva me, fons pietatis

Recordare, Jesu pie
Quod sum causa tuæ viæ:
Ne me perdas illa die

Quærens me, sedisti lassus:
Redemisti Crucem passus:
Tantus labor non sit cassus

Juste Judex ultionis
Donum fac remissionis
Ante diem rationis

Ingemisco, tamquam reus:
Culpa rubet vultus meus:
Supplicanti parce, Deus

Qui Mariam absolvisti
Et latronem exaudisti
Mihi quoque spem dedisti

Preces meæ non sunt dignæ;
Sed tu bonus fac benigne
Ne perenni cremer igne
Inter oves locum præsta
Et ab hædis me sequestra
Statuens in parte dextra

Confutatis maledictis
Flammis acribus addictis
Voca me cum benedictis

Oro supplex et acclinis
Cor contritum quasi cinis
Gere curam mei finis

Lacrimosa dies illa
Qua resurget ex favilla
Judicandus homo reus
Huic ergo parce, Deus:

Pie Jesu Domine
Dona eis requiem. Amen



---- English Lyrics ----

Day  of  wrath,  day  of  anger
will  dissolve  the  world  in  ashes,
as  foretold  by  David  and  the  Sibyl.

Great  trembling  there  will  be
when  the  Judge  descends  from heaven
to  examine  all  things  closely.

The  trumpet  will  send  its wondrous  sound
throughout  earth's  sepulchres
and  gather  all  before  the  throne.

Death  and  nature  will  be astounded,
when  all  creation  rises  again,
to  answer  the  judgement.

A book  will  be  brought  forth,
in  which  all  will  be  written,
by  which  the  world  will  be judged.

When  the  judge  takes  his  place,
what  is  hidden  will  be  revealed,
nothing  will  remain  unavenged.

What  shall  a  wretch  like  me  say?
Who shall  intercede  for  me,
when  the  just  ones  need  mercy?

King  of  tremendous  majesty,
who  freely  saves  those  worthy ones,
save  me,  source  of  mercy.

Remember,  kind  Jesus,
my salvation  caused  your suffering;
do  not  forsake  me  on  that  day.

Faint  and  weary  you  have  sought me,
redeemed  me,  suffering  on  the cross;
may  such  great  effort  not  be  in vain.

Righteous  judge  of  vengeance,
grant  me  the  gift  of  absolution
before  the  day  of  retribution.

I  moan  as  one  who  is  guilty:
owning  my  shame  with  a  red  face;
suppliant  before  you,  Lord.

You,  who  absolved  Mary,
and  listened  to  the  thief,
give  me  hope  also.

My prayers  are  unworthy,
but,  good  Lord,  have  mercy,
and  rescue  me  from  eternal  fire.

Provide  me  a  place  among  the sheep,
and  separate  me  from  the  goats,
guiding  me  to  Your  right  hand.

When  the  accused  are  confounded,
and  doomed  to  flames  of  woe,
call  me  among  the  blessed.

I  kneel  with  submissive  heart,
my contrition  is  like  ashes,
help  me  in  my  final  condition.

That  day  of  tears  and  mourning,
when  from  the  ashes  shall  arise,
all  humanity  to  be  judged.

Spare  us  by  your  mercy,  
Lord, gentle  Lord  Jesus,
grant  them  eternal  rest.  
Amen.
