The Church Militant and the Church Triumphant, fresco by Andrea da Firenze in Santa Maria Novella, c. A.D. 1365
Eternal Rest or Requiem aeternam is a Western Christian prayer asking God:
(1) to hasten the progression of the souls of the faithful departed in Purgatory to their place in Heaven (in Catholicism)
(2) to rest in the love of God the souls of the faithful departed in Paradise until the resurrection of the dead and Last Judgement (in Catholicism, Lutheranism, Anglicanism and Methodism)[1]
The prayer is cited from 2 Esdras (4 Esdras Vulgate):
Therefore, I say to you, O nations that hear and understand, “Wait for your shepherd; he will give you everlasting rest, because he who will come at the end of the age is close at hand. Be ready for the rewards of the kingdom, because perpetual light will shine on you forevermore.
-2 Esdras 2:34-35 NRSV
