Fauré: Requiem — In Paradisum

In paradisum deducant angeli:  
in tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres,    
et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Jerusalem.   

Chorus angelorum te suscipiat,
et cum Lazaro quondam paupere
aeternam habeas requiem.

May angels lead you into paradise;
upon your coming may the martyrs receive you,
and guide you into the holy city, Jerusalem.

May a choir of angels receive you,
and with Lazarus, once a poor man,
may you have eternal rest.
