. . . . at least I used to LISTEN to a different version from time to time, back then (until I joined a mixed choir, years later! :)

It was a version (video below) from the Latin Gregorian Chant Mass Hymnal, actually,

whilst serving as an altar boy, during a few funeral Masses, I served at, back in the 50s - performed in a cathedral at The Hague, in Holland.

What an experience, and what a great introduction to the sacred music repertoire of the masters.

But here is Gabriel Fauré's version, I really enjoy, and below the video, is a Translation of the Latin text . . . . .

IN PARADISUM In Paradisum deducant Angeli-- Into paradise may angels draw them,

In tuo adventu suscipiant te Martyres-- On your arrival, may the martyrs receive you

Et perducant te in civitatem sanctam-- Jerusalem and lead you into the holy city Jerusalem.

Chorus Angelorum te suscipiat-- May the chorus of angels receive you,

Et cum Lazaro quondam paupere-- And with Lazarus, once a beggar,

Aeternam habeas requiem--- May you have eternal rest.
