The lyrics of Musica Sacra's song "Sanctus" are a Latin hymn that translates to "Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Hosts. Heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest." This hymn is a common part of Christian liturgy and is often sung during the Eucharist or other religious services.
The repetition of the phrase "Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus" emphasizes the holiness of God, while the second line, "Dominus Deus Sabaoth," refers to God as the Lord of Hosts, highlighting his power and authority. The following line, "Pleni sunt caeli et terra gloria tua," suggests that all of creation is offering up praise to God, recognizing his greatness and glory. The final two lines, "Hosanna in excelsis" and "Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini," focus on the coming of Jesus and his arrival in the name of the Lord, conveying a sense of reverence and awe.
Overall, "Sanctus" is a powerful hymn that acknowledges God's holiness and glory, while also highlighting the importance of Jesus and his role in salvation. It is a beautiful piece of music that has been an important part of Christian worship for centuries.

So beautiful it brings me to tears. Must admit I prefer the version with the tenor soloist.
