Click to expand... “Have mercy on us” = Miserere nobis (from the Agnus Dei) “Lord” = Domine (vocative – you’re addressing Him) “of the living” = viventium (Matt. 22:32) or vivorum (Mark 12:27; Luke 20:38) “of the dead” = mortuorum (Matt. 22:32; Mark 12:27; Luke 20:38) I would go with vivorum because it sounds better with mortuorum to me. “of the living and the dead” = vivorum mortuorumque or just vivorum et mortuorum Now, ordering these phrases can be done in many ways; here are three that make the most sense to me: *]Straightforward: Miserere nobis, Domine vivorum mortuorumque. *]Not ending with “dead”: Miserere nobis, vivorum mortuorumque Domine. *]“Lord” first: Domine vivorum mortuorumque, miserere nobis.
