"Tuba mirum spargens sonum
Per sepulcra regionum,
Coget omnes ante thronum.

Cum resurget creatura,

"The
trumpet, scattering its awful sound
Across the graves of all
lands
Summons all before the throne.

and nature shall be stunned
When mankind arises
To render
account before the judge.

"Ingemisco tanquam
reus,
Culpa rubet vultus meus;
Supplicanti parce, Deus."
translates to
"I groan as one
guilty,my face blushes with guilt;
spare this suppliant, O
God." (rather than "spare this supplicant, O priest.")
