lyrics

Dominae Sanctae

Terra potens in caelum aspirat
Ecce, orabant hic, dominae prosapiea meae

Supremus mons, supremus collis
Sophiam sanctarum scis
Amorem profundum prosapiae istae scis
Conplectere nos, beare nos, ama nos

Matres amandas, vos cognosco, vos, qui deum cognoscebatis Sensibiliter

Qui preces offerebatis, in hac lingua, in hoc modo

Advocate me ad perpetuare prosapiam nostram, uti deum sciam, uti Artes nostras vobiscum intellegam

Advocate me ad sequor passus vestra, uti vestra sim

Advocate me adscendere montem istam, ita conplectam deum
Sicut conplectitis deum

Dominae sanctae

Holy Women

Brave land that ascends into the sky
Where the women of my lineage have prayed
Highest mountain, highest height
That knows the wisdom of these holy women
That knows this lineage of boundless love
Hold us, see us, love us

I know you, loving mothers
You who knew God in this tangible way
Who offered prayers in this language, in this way
Call upon me to continue our lineage
That I might know our God
Let me follow in your path and be yours

Let me climb this mountain
That I might know God, like you

Holy Women
