Latin text

Chorus:
Benedictus sit Deus Pater, unigenitusque Dei Filius,
Sanctus quoque Spiritus; quia fecit nobiscum misericordiam suam.

Aria:
Introibo domum tuam, Domine, in holocaustis
reddam tibi vota mea, quae distinxerunt labia mea.

Chorus:
Jubilate Deo omnis terra.
Psalmum dicite nomini eius, date gloriam laudi eius.

English translation

Chorus:
Blessed be the God and Father and the only-begotten Son of God
and the Holy Spirit, because He has shown us His mercy.

Aria:
I will go into thy house with burnt offerings:
I will pay thee my vows which my lips have uttered.

Chorus:
Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands;
sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.
