| Boys: | 
| Domine Jesu Christe, Rex gloriae, | 
| libera animas omnium fidelium | 
| defunctorum de poenis inferni, | 
| et de profundo lacu: | 
| libera eas de ore leonis, ne absorbeat eas | 
| tartarus, ne cadant in obscurum. | 
| Chorus: | 
| Sed signifer sanctus Michael | 
| repraesentet eas in lucem sanctam: | 
| Quam olim Abrahae promisisti, | 
| et semini ejus. | 
| Tenor and Baritone: | 
| So Abram rose, and clave the wood, and went, | 
| And took the fire with him, and a knife. | 
| And as they sojourned both of them together, | 
| Isaac the first-born spake and said, My Father, | 
| Behold the preparations, fire and iron, | 
| But where the lamb for this burnt-offering? | 
| Then Abram bound the youth with belts and straps, | 
| And builded parapets and trenched there, | 
| And streched forth the knife to slay his son. | 
| When lo! | 
| and angel called him out of heaven, | 
| Saying, Lay not thy hand upon the lad, | 
| Neither do anything to him. | 
| Behold, | 
| A ram, caught in a thicket by its horns; | 
| Offer the Ram of Pride instead of him. | 
| But the old man would not so, | 
| but slew his son, — | 
| And half the seed of Europe, one by one. | 
| Boys: | 
| Hostias et preced 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 | 
| en semini ejus. | 
| Chorus: | 
| …Quam olim Abrahae promisisti | 
| et semini ejus. |
