Dominus Deus Sabaoth.
Pleni sunt coeli et terra gloria tua.
Hosanna in excelsis.
Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini.
Hosanna in excelsis.
The song is titled "Sanctus," which means "Holy" in Latin, and the lyrics describe a call to worship and praise. The repetition of "Benedictus" (Blessed) and "In nomine Domine" (In the name of the Lord) emphasizes the importance of recognizing God's greatness and holiness. The phrase "Sanctus Dominus Deus Sabbaoth" translates to "Holy Lord God of Hosts," further emphasizing the exaltation of God.
The lyrics also acknowledge the presence of God in heaven and on earth, with the phrase "Pleni sunt coeli et terra Gloria" (Heaven and earth are full of your glory). The repetition of this phrase throughout the song further solidifies the message of reverence and worship.
The use of plural pronouns such as "tuas" (yours) and "coeli et terra" (heaven and earth) unify the song's message of communal worship and praise towards God. The repetition of the phrases throughout the song creates a sense of holy reverence, making it a popular choice for liturgical music.
