In Paradisum – Catholic Requiem Mass Hymns

This version is a choir polyphony mode, very different from the traditional Gregorian chant version. Judge for yourselves which is better, but I like both forms. The Latin lyrics and English translation follow:

In paradisum deducant te Angeli; in tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres, et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Ierusalem.
Chorus angelorum te suscipiat, et cum Lazaro quondam paupere æternam habeas requiem.

May angels lead you into paradise; upon your arrival, may the martyrs receive you and lead you to the holy city of Jerusalem.
May the ranks of angels receive you, and with Lazarus, the poor man, may you have eternal rest.
