THE LIBERA ME

A RESPONSORY FOR THE LAST SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST

Taken from the Absolution of the Requiem Mass

R.  Deliver me, O Lord, from everlasting death in that fearful day: *  When the heavens and the earth shall be shaken: When thou shalt come to judge the world by fire.
V.  I am in fear and trembling, until the sifting be upon us and the wrath to come.
R.  When the heavens and the earth shall be shaken.
V.  Woe is me, for the day of wrath, calamity and misery, the great day of exceeding bitterness.
R.  When thou shalt come to judge the world by fire.
V.  Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.
R.  Deliver me, O Lord, from everlasting death in that fearful day: *  When the heavens and the earth shall be shaken: When thou shalt come to judge the world by fire.
