The Church triumphant in thy love
|
The Church triumphant in thy love, Their mighty joys we know; They sing the Lamb in hymns above, And we in hymns below. Thee in thy glorious realm they praise, And bow before thy throne; We in the kingdom of thy grace: The kingdoms are but one. The holy to the Holiest leads: From hence our spirits rise, And he that in thy statutes treads Shall meet thee in the skies. |
Sanctorum triumphantium sciuntur gaudia; hic nostrum Agno canticum, eorum fit supra. In regno resplendente te verentur ad thronum, et nos in regno gratiae; sed regnum unicum. Fert sanctum ad Sanctissimum: hinc surgunt animae, tuaeque legi deditum cernes in aethere. (Hunc intellexisse parum me suspicor hymnum) |
