'Twas by thy blood, immortal Lamb
|
'Twas by thy blood, immortal Lamb, Thine armies trod the tempter down; 'Twas by thy word and powerful name They gained the battle and renown. Rejoice, ye heavens! let every star Shine with new glories round the sky; Saints, while ye sing the heavenly war, Raise your Deliverer's name on high. |
Tui per sanguinem tuum presserunt, Agne, Satanam potensque per vocabulum sunt bello nacti gloriam. Gaudete, caeli; sidera, novate vos in aethere; cantando, sancti, proelia Salvantis nomen tollite. |
