Irmã Kelly Patrícia's "Sanctus" is a song of praise and worship to God. The repeated use of the word "Sanctus" emphasizes the holiness of God and invites listeners to join in the proclamation of his holiness. The phrase "Dominus Deus Sabaoth" translates to "Lord God of hosts," which emphasizes God's power and sovereignty over all creation. The second stanza, "Pleni sunt cæli et terra gloria tua," means "Heaven and earth are full of Your glory." This phrase emphasizes the infinite nature of God's glory and highlights that everything in creation draws its essence from God.
The third stanza praises Jesus Christ, "Benedictus, qui venit in nomine Domini" means "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord." This phrase echoes the words of the crowd when Jesus entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. The repetition of "Hosanna in excelsis" gives a sense of triumph, as the people welcomed Christ as their long-awaited king.
Overall, the song is a powerful meditation on God's holiness, majesty, and sovereignty, and his triumph over sin and death through Jesus Christ. The repeated use of the phrase "Hosanna in excelsis" invites the listener to join in the song of praise and worship to the God of hosts.
