Text and translations

Latin text

1 Benedicamus Patrem et Filium cum Sancto Spiritu;
laudemus et superexaltemus eum in sæcula.
2 Benedictus es Domine in firmamento cœli,
et laudabilis et gloriosus et superexaltatus in sæcula.

English translation

1 We praise the Father, with the Son and the Holy Spirit;
let us extoll him and raise him above all else for ever.
2 Blessed art thou in the heavens, O Lord,
renowned, praised, and raised above all else for ever.

(trans. Timmi O'Danaos & Donna Ferrentes)
