Praise to the Trinity

Language: English after the Latin

Praise to the Trinity, who is sound and life
and the creator of all things in their life,
and who is the praise of the angelic host
and the wondrous splendor of the mysteries,
which are unknown to humanity,
and who is the life in all things.
