Monastery of la Rabida lyrics

De profundis clamavit ad te Domine
Domine exaudi vocem meam
Et ipse redimet Israel
In secula

De profundis clamavit ad te Domine
In secula

From the deep, I exclaim to thee Lord
Lord, listen to my voice
And He shall redeem Irsrael
For ever and ever

Deliverance lyrics*

Dies irae, dies illa
Solvet saeclum in favilla
Teste David cum Sibylla
Quantus tremor ...

Day of wrath and doom impending
David's word with Sibyl's blending
Heaven and earth in ashes ending
Oh, what fear...
