The Dies Iræ.

12.

Surrounded with amazing fears,
Whoſe load my ſoul with anguiſh bears,
I ſigh, I weep! accept my tears!

13.

Thou who wert moved with Mary's grief,
And by abſolving of the thief
Haſt given me hope, now give relief!

14.

Reject not my unworthy prayer;
Preſerve me from the dangerous ſnare
Which death and gaping hell prepare.

15.

Give my exalted ſoul a place
Among Thy choſen right-hand race,
The ſons of God and heirs of grace.
