BENEDICTUS DEUS (Blessed be God)

I have a secret to share. ;) The Greatest Miracle, is an animated movie due to be released in November. It will be of particular interest to Catholic readers of this blog. However, of interest to all Christian readers is a beautiful piece of music from the soundtrack composed by Mark McKenzie -- Benedictus Deus. It is performed by the phenomenal boys choir Libera. Listen to it at the link at the end of this posting.

Benedictus Deus,
Benedictum Nomen Sanctum eius
Benedictus Iesus Christus,

Verus Deus et verus homo,
Nomen Sanctum eius           

Benedictus Deus
Benedictus Deus
Benedictum Nomen Iesus
Benedictus Sanctus Christus
Benedictus Christus

Benedictum Nomen Sanctum
Benedictus Iesus Christus
Benedictum Cor eius

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

Blessed be God,

Blessed in his holy name,

Blessed be Jesus Christ.

True God and true man,

His holy name.

Blessed be God,
