Text: Ecce vicit Leo

Peter Philips (c. 1560–1628)

Original Text English Translation
 
Ecce vicit Leo de tribu Juda,
radix David, aperire librum
et solvere septem signacula eius.
Alleluia.
Dignus est Agnus qui occisus est
accipere virtutem
et divinitatem et sapientiam
et fortitudinem et honorem
et gloriam et benedictionem.
Alleluia.
Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah,
the root of David, has prevailed to open the book
and to loose its seven seals.
Alleluia.
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
to receive power,
and divine distinction, and wisdom,
and strength, and honor,
and glory, and blessing.
Alleluia.
