LYRICS:
O Domine Jesu Christe, Rex gloriae, libera animas defunctorum de poenis inferni, et de
profundo lacu:
O Domine Jesu Christe, Rex gloriae, libera animas defunctorum de ore leonis, ne absorbeat
tartarus:
O Domine Jesu Christe, Rex gloriae, ne cadant in obscurum.
Hostias et preces tibi Domine laudis offerimus: tu suscipe pro animabus illis, quarum hodie
memoriam facimus.
Fac eas, Domine, de morte transire ad vitam. Quam olim Abrahae promisisti et semini eius.
O Domine Jesu Christe, Rex gloriae, libera animas defunctorum de poenis inferni, et de
profundo lacu: ne cadant in obscurum. Amen.

(Lord Jesus Christ, thou that rulest in majesty, O free the souls of thy faithful departed from
torment eternal, and from the fathomless waters: Lord Jesus Christ, thou that rulest in majesty,
O free the souls of thy faithful departed from out of the lion’s jaw, lest they drown in the depths of
hell: Lord Jesus Christ, thou that rulest in majesty, O save them from utter darkness. Hear our
prayer and let our cry come unto thee; God our Father, bow thine ear: we pray this day for all the
souls departed; O remember them, Lord, we pray. Grant them, Lord, deliverance from death unto
life, we pray thee, as of old thou hast promised to our fathers, Abraham and his seed. Lord Jesus
Christ, thou that rulest in majesty, free the souls of thy faithful departed from torment eternal,
and from the fathomless waters. Save them, O Lord, from the darkness of hell. Amen.)

Fauré Requiem and other sacred music
John Rutter’s Gramophone Award-winning 1984 recording of Fauré’s Requiem, re-released in 2010 at mid-price. The first-ever performance on disc of the work in its intimate original version – famously re-discovered by Rutter in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris after a century of neglect – it remains one of the timeless jewels in the crown of the Collegium catalogue.

John Rutter, English composer and conductor, is associated with choral music throughout the world. His recordings with the Cambridge Singers (the professional chamber choir he set up in 1983) have reached a wide global audience, many of them featuring his own music in definitive versions. Among John’s best-known choral works are Gloria, Requiem, Magnificat, Mass of the Children, and Visions, together with many church anthems, choral songs and Christmas carols.
