Sanctus - Traditional

Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus Dominus Deus Sabaoth.
Pleni sunt caeli et terra gloria tua.
Hosanna in excelsis.
Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini.
Hosanna in excelsis.

Sanctus Lyrics are a vital part of the Eucharistic Prayer where the earthly liturgy joins the heavenly worship described in the visions of Isaiah and the Book of Revelation. The song Sanctus repeats the word Holy three times to emphasize the absolute perfection and majesty of God. It also includes the Benedictus welcoming the one who comes in the name of the Lord. By singing the Sanctus lyrics the congregation prepares to witness the miracle of the Eucharist with awe and reverence. This prayer serves as a reminder of the thin veil between heaven and earth during the Mass inviting the faithful into a state of deep adoration.
