Locus iste a Deo factus est
et porta caeli
et vocabitur aula Dei.
Quam dilecta tabernacula tua, Domine virtutum:
concupiscit et deficit anima mea in atria Domini.

English.png English translation

This is a place of awe: this is God's house, the gate of heaven,
and it shall be called the royal court of God.
How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord Almighty!
My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord.
