==Lyrics==
The choir's lyrics are as follows:
"Iuste iudex ultionis, Donum fac remissionis Ante diem rationis.
O--------
Ingemisco, tamquam reus: Culpa rubet vultus meus: Supplicanti parce, Deus.
Oro supplex et acclinis, Cor contritum quasi cinis: Gere curam mei finis.
O--------
Gere curam mei finis."
The English translation is as follows:
"Just Judge of vengeance, make a gift of remission before the day of reckoning.
I sigh, like the guilty one: my face reddens in guilt: Spare the imploring one, O God.
[Humbly] kneeling and bowed I pray, [my] heart crushed as ashes: take care of my end.
take care of my end."
