The Text    Et praecipitabit mortem (I will swallow death, Isaiah 25:8)     This text is not included in the Latin liturgy of the Eucharist (Mass). I chose it because it would have been appropriate as the Old Testament reading at the liturgy of the Word in the Requiem service.  For consistency of language in the Requiem, I’ve included the verse in the Latin that would have been heard at the Roman Requiem Mass prior to the introduction of vernacular translations of the Bible..
