The lyrics to the song Sanctus by Victoria T.L. de are in Latin and contain elements of Christian worship. The repetitive use of the word "Sanctus" means "Holy" or "Saint," and it is often used in religious texts and ceremonies. The word "Dominus" means "Lord," and "Deus Sabaoth" means "God of Hosts," both of which are terms used in the Christian faith to refer to God.
The second part of the song refers to God's glory and the praise it receives in heaven and earth. "Pleni sunt cæli et terra gloria tua" means "Heaven and earth are full of your glory," which is a line often used in Catholic and Anglican liturgy. The repetition of "Hosanna in excelsis" is a song of praise and adoration that has been used in the church for centuries.
The final part of the song refers to the coming of the Lord and the continuation of praise. "Benedictus, qui venit in nomine Domini" means "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord." This line is often used in Christian liturgy, particularly during Palm Sunday when Jesus was welcomed into Jerusalem with "Hosannas" from the crowd.
Overall, Sanctus is a song that praises and celebrates God's glory, which is a common theme in Christian worship.
