Cantate Domino
Language: Multiple Languages
Cantate Domino canticum novum. O sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the whole earth. Sing unto the Lord, and praise his Name: be telling of his salvation from day to day. Declare his honour unto the heathen: and his wonders unto all people. For the Lord is great, and cannot worthily be praised: he is more to be feared than all gods. As for all the gods of the heathen, they are but idols: but it is the Lord that made the heavens. Glory and worship are before him: power and honour are in his sanctuary. Ascribe unto the Lord the honour due unto his Name: bring presents, and come into his courts. O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: let the whole earth stand in awe of him. Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad: for he cometh to judge the earth. Veni Creator Spiritus Mentes tuorum visita: Imple superna gratia Quae tu creasti pectora. Cantate Domino canticum novum.
