Latin text
Factum est silentium in caelo,
Dum committeret bellum draco,
Cum Michaele archangelo.
Audita est vox milia milium dicentium.
Salus, honor et virtus omnipotenti Deo.
Alleluia.
English translation
There was silence in heaven
When the dragon fought with the Archangel Michael.
The voice of a thousand thousand was heard saying:
Salvation, honour and power be to almighty God.
