Latin text Tibi laus, tibi gloria, tibi gratiarum actio in saecula sempiterna[saeculorum], O beata Trinitas. Caritas Pater est, gratia Filius, communicatio Spiritus Sanctus, O beata Trinitas. Verax est Pater, veritas Filius, veritas Spiritus Sanctus, O beata Trinitas. Pater et Filius, et Spiritus Sanctus una substantia est, O beata Trinitas. Et benedictum nomen gloriae tuae sanctum: et laudabile et super exaltatum in saecula.

The Father is charity, the Son grace, the Holy Spirit imparting goodness: O blessed Trinity. The Father is conveying the truth, the Son is truth, the Holy Spirit truth: O blessed Trinity. Father, Son and Holy Spirit are one substance, O blessed Trinity. And blessed is the Holy Name of your glory, praiseworthy and exalted above all forever. Amen.
