Deering, Richard: Factum est silentium
Factum est silentium (1618)
Factum est silentium in cœlo dum committeret bellum draco cum Michaele Archangelo.
Audita est vox milia milium dicentium:
Salus, honor et virtus omnipotenti Deo.
Alleluia.
There was silence in heaven whilst the dragon joined battle with the Archangel Michael.
A cry was heard – thousands of thousands saying:
‘Salvation and honour and power be to Almighty God.’
Alleluia.
