May eternal light shine on them, Lord, with your saints forever, for You are good.

Give them eternal rest, Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon them, for You are good.

Lux aetérna lúceat eis, Dómine, cum sanctis tuis in aetérnum, quia pius es.

Réquiem aetérnam dona eis, Dómine, et lux perpétua lúceat eis. Cum santis tuis in aetérnum, quia pius es.
