A new video by Afro Celt Sound System: Sanctus featuring The Amani Choir


Taken from the new album Flight - Out 23rd November 2018

The Sanctus (Latin: Sanctus, "Holy") is a hymn in Christian liturgy. In Western Christianity, the Sanctus forms part of the Ordinary and is sung (or said) as the final words of the Preface of the Eucharistic Prayer, the prayer of consecration of the bread and wine. The preface, which alters according to the season, usually concludes with words describing the praise of the worshippers joining with the angels, who are pictured as praising God with the words of the Sanctus:

Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,
heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.
