Dear brothers and sisters,

I love the music of the Libera choir, the all-boy English vocal group. Especially the song Sanctus below.

Sanctus (Latin) means “Holy”. Perhaps this is Libera’s most popular song. The song was released in October 1999. The arrangement comes from Pachelbel’s Canon.

The melody makes me feel holy.

Enjoy and have a holy day.

PTH

***

Sanctus!
Holy!

Benedictus, Benedictus.
Be praised, be praised.

Qui venit in nomine Benedictus in nomine Domini.
Who comes in the name of the Lord,

Benedictus, Benedictus.
Be praised, be praised.

Qui venit in nomine Benedictus in nomine Domini.
Who comes in the name of the Lord,

Sanctus Dominus Deus Sabaoth
Oh holy God, the lord of the entire world,

Pleni sunt cæli et terra gloria tua.
The fulled glory of heaven and earth,

Sanctus Dominus Deus Sabaoth
Oh holy God, the lord of the entire world,

Pleni sunt cæli et terra gloria tua.
The fulled glory of heaven and earth.

(repeat)
