Messa da Requiem, Sequenza: Ingemisco

Ingemisco tanquam reus,
Culpa rubet vultus meus,
Supplicanti parce, Deus.
Qui Mariam absolvisti,
Et latronem exaudisti,
Mihi quoque spem dedisti.
Preces meae non sunt dignae,
Sed tu, bonus, fac benigne,
Ne perenni cremer igne.
Inter oves locum praesta,
Et ab haedis me sequestra,
Statuens in parte dextra.

Messa da Requiem, Sequenza: Ingemisco

I groan as one in guilt,
My face reddens with shame,
Spare your suppliant, O God.
You who absolved Mary,
And heard the thief's plea,
Give me also hope.
My prayers are unworthy,
But you, so gracious, grant,
Lest I be consumed by eternal fire.
Grant me a place among your sheep,
And separate me from the goats,
Setting me on your right hand.
