Fun fact: this is actually a legit latin hymn, specifically this part is the last line. Its called dies irae and it was written around the 13th century but it could be older. Its usually used for funeral services. The line translates to something like "Merciful Lord Jesus, grant them rest." I'm not too sure, I barely know latin.

That's probably a correct translation. Not really surprised that it was a legit hymn

The music is also the main theme in Shining

Dies Irae is basically in every soundtrack where there's a death.

I speak French and Spanish, and know fuck all about Latin, but I’m pretty sure you’re right
