Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Sabaoth;

Heaven and earth are full of the Majesty of thy Glory.

Deum Deum te laudamus

Dominumque appellamus;

Omnes te terrarum gentes
Clamant, Patrem confitentes

Mille cœtus Angelorum,

Unâ voluntate moti

Dominum te Sabaoti

Coelum tellus et profundum

Tuâ majestate plena ;

Omnium te cantilena

Celebrat viventium ;
