The lyrics of the song Sanctus by Libera and Edward Day are primarily in Latin and are derived from the liturgical text of the Catholic Church. The song is a beautiful and angelic chant, sung by a boys' choir that instills calmness and tranquility in the listener's soul. The repeated words "Benedictus, qui venit in nomine benedictus" translate to "Blessed, who comes in the name blessed" and is believed to be a reference to Jesus Christ. The use of the Latin language highlights the origin and source of the text in the Catholic Church, making the song feel more like a prayer and an ode to God.
Furthermore, the phrase "Sanctus Dominus Deus Sabbaoth" means "Holy Lord God of Hosts," which is a reference to the glory and grandeur of God. The repeated use of the phrase "Pleni sunt coeli et terra Gloria" means "Heaven and earth are full of your glory." The lyrics of the song emphasize the power and holiness of God and the beauty of His creation. The use of the boys' choir's pure and soft voices elevates the song to a level of pure beauty and serenity that touches the heart of the listener.
