Latin hymn used in Mass for the dead (4,4)

I believe the answer is:

dies irae

(Other definitions for dies irae that I've seen before include "when the Lord passes judgment?" , "Latin hymn (day of wrath)" , "Hymn featuring in a Requiem Mass" , "section of Requiem?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
