Latin text

Cantabant sancti canticum novum
ante sedem dei et agni
et resonabat terra in voces eorum.
Hiempti sunt ex hominibus primítiae Deo,
et Agno, et in ore eorum
non est inventum mendacium.
Et resonabat terra in voces eorum.

English translation

The Saints sang a new song
before the throne of God and of the Lamb,
and their sound is gone out in all lands.
These children have been ransomed
from among men as the first offerings
to God and to the Lamb,
and in their mouths
no falsehood has been found.
And their sound is gone out in all lands.
