Found: Xenosaga Lyrics

This is precisely what I’ve been looking for since since the Official Soundtrack to Xenosaga was released: The lyrics to the Latin songs in Xenosaga which are Ormus, The Resurrection and The Miracle. I found them off the Xenosaga page in Gamefaqs.com, but the can also be found at this website (along with a host of other lyrics) in this website called The Opera House. There’s an English translation for the non-English lyrics in both sites. Anyway, I couldn’t resist from putting up the latin lyrics to The Miracle (my favourite of the three) in this blog. I’m trying to learning the parts but it would be nice if there was a real choir to sing it along with.

Laudate Dominum meum
corde voto Deo toto

Psallum Patrem nostrum
quamdiu fuero

Laudate Dominum meum
corde voto Deo toto

Pax in nomine Domini
Dominus tecum

Ecce vos omnes felicis
Coelestia, terrestria,
Mundum replens laetitia,
Rex omnipotens.

[doxologia nova]
Gloria Patriae et Filio, Da pacem.
Gloria Patriae et Filio, Da pacem.
Sicut erat in principio, et nunc
et semper, et in saecula saeculorum
Magnificat anima mea Pacem.

^*the ‘Doxologia Nova’ (New Doxology) is most likely taken from the Doxologia Minor, which goes:
“Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.”
Whereas the Doxologia Minor refers to the Holy Trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, the ‘Doxologia Nova’ refers only to the Father and the Son.
