Laus Trinitati, que sonus et vita
ac creatrix omnium in vita ipsorum est,
et que laus angelice turbe
et mirus splendor archanorum,
que hominibus ignota sunt, est,
et que in omnibus vita est.

Praise to the Trinity, she who is the sound and the
life and the creator of every last thing in life,
she who is the glory of the angelic host
and the astounding splendor of the mysteries
which are unknown to humanity;
she who is in the life of all creation.

Translation by Hugh McElroy

Praise to the Trinity, who is the sound and the life
and also the creator of everything in its own life;
and who is the glory of the angelic host
and the astounding splendour of the mysteries
which are unknown to humanity;
and who is the life in everything.

Translation by Daniel Trott
