Sanctus
Coro Arquidiocesano de Santa Fe De la Vera Cruz Lyrics

The lyrics to the song "Sanctus" by Coro Arquidiocesano de Santa Fe De la Vera Cruz are a Latin rendition of the biblical passage from the book of Isaiah (Isaiah 6:3) and the Gospels (Matthew 21:9). The song begins with the repetition of "Sanctus," which means "holy" in Latin, emphasizing the holiness of the Lord. The phrase "Sanctus Dominus Deus Sabaoth" translates to "Holy is the Lord God of Hosts," further emphasizing the divine nature and majesty of God.

The following line, "Pleni sunt caeli et terra gloria tua" means "Heaven and earth are full of your glory." This expresses the belief that God's glory is omnipresent and fills both the spiritual and physical realms. It reflects the idea of worship and praise from all corners of creation.

The chorus of the song, "Hosanna in excelsis," is a jubilant exclamation of praise and adoration. "Hosanna" is a Hebrew word that originally meant "save now" or "save us," but has come to be understood as a declaration of worship and acclamation of Jesus as the Savior and King. "In excelsis" translates to "in the highest," emphasizing the transcendent and exalted nature of God's presence.

The final line, "Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini," translates to "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord." This line echoes the shouts of acclamation from the crowd as Jesus entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. It recognizes Jesus' arrival as the one sent by God and invokes blessings upon him.

Overall, the lyrics to "Sanctus" are a powerful declaration of God's holiness, glory, and the worship and praise due to Him.
