Text and translations

Latin text Cantabant sancti canticum novum ante sedem dei et agni et resonabat terra in voces eorum. Hi empti sunt ex hominibus primítiae Deo, et Agno, et in ore eorum non est inventum mendacium. Et resonabat terra in voces eorum. Variant 1 Et ceciderunt in conspectu throni in facies suas et benedixerunt viventem in saecula et resonabat terra in voces eorum.

English translation The Saints sang a new song before the throne of God and of the Lamb, and their sound is gone out in all lands. These children have been ransomed from among men as the first offerings to God and to the Lamb, and in their mouths no falsehood has been found. And their sound is gone out in all lands. Variant 1 And fell on their faces before the throne and they blessed him that liveth for ever. And their sound is gone out in all lands.
