In paradisum
In paradisum deducant Angeli;
in tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres,
et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Jerusalem.
Chorus angelorum te suscipiat,
et cum Lazaro quondam paupere aeternam habeas requiem.
May angels lead you into paradise;
upon your arrival, may the martyrs
receive you and lead you to the holy city of Jerusalem.
May the ranks of angels receive you,
and with Lazarus, the poorman, may you
have eternal rest.
