Latin text
O quam gloriosum est regnum, in quo cum Christo gaudent omnes sancti, amicti stolis albis sequuntur Agnum quocunque ierit,
(Magnificat antiphon, 2nd Vespers, All Saints)
laudantes Deum et dicentes:
Benedictio et claritas et sapientia et gratiarum actio, honor, virtus et fortitudo Deo nostro in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
English translation
O how glorious is the kingdom wherein all the Saints rejoice with Christ; arrayed in white robes they follow the Lamb
whithersoever he goeth, praising God and saying:
Benediction and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving, honour and power and strength, to our God, for ever and ever. Amen.
(Revelation 7:12)
