Credo
Credo in unum Deum, patrem
 omnipotentem, factorem coeli et
 terrae, visibilium omnium et
 invisibilium.
Et in unum Dominum Jesu
 Christum, filium Dei unigenitum,
 et ex patre natum ante omnia
 saecula.
Deum de Deo, lumen de lumine,
 Deum verum de Deo vero,
genitum non factum,
 consubstantialem patri, per quem
 omnia facta sunt,
qui propter nos homines et propter
 nostram salutem descendit de
 coelis.
Et incarnatus est de Spiritu sancto
 ex Maria virgine, et homo factus
 est.
Crucifixus etiam pro nobis, sub
 Pontio Pilato passus et sepultus
 est,
et resurrexit tertia die secundum
 scripturas, et ascendit in
 coelum, sedet ad dexteram
 patris,
et iterum venturus est cum gloria
 iudicare vivos et mortuos, cuius
 regni non erit finis.
Et in Spiritum sanctum, Dominum
 et vivificantem, qui ex patre
 filioque procedit,
qui cum patre et filio simul
 adoratur et conglorificatur, qui
 locutus est per prophetas.
Et unam sanctam catholicam et
 apostolicam ecclesiam.
Confiteor unum baptisma in
 remissionem peccatorum,
et exspecto resurrectionem
 mortuorum, et vitam venturi
 saeculi,
Amen.

Credo
I believe in one God, the Father
 Almighty, maker of heaven and earth,
 of all things visible and
 invisible,
and in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the
 only-begotten Son of God, born of the
 Father before all
 worlds:
God from God, light from light, true
 God from true God,
begotten, not made, of one substance
 with the Father, by whom all things
 were made;
who for us men and for our salvation
 descended from
 heaven
and became flesh of the Holy Spirit, born
 of the Virgin Mary, and was made
 man.
He was crucified for us, suffered under
 Pontius Pilate and was
 buried;
and he rose again on the third day, in
 accordance with the scriptures, and
 ascended to heaven, and sits at the right
 hand of the Father.
And he will return again in glory to judge
 the living and the dead, and his kingdom
 will know no end.
And I believe in the Holy Spirit, Lord and
 Giver of Life, who proceeds from the
 Father and the Son,
who with the Father and Son together is
 worshipped and glorified, and who
 spoke through the Prophets.
And I believe in one Holy Catholic and
 Apostolic Church.
I acknowledge one baptism for the
 remission of sins.
And I await the resurrection of the dead,
 and the life of the world to
 come.
Amen.

Sanctus
Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus,
 Dominus Deus Sabaoth.
Pleni sunt coeli et terra gloria
 tua.
Osanna in excelsis.

Sanctus
Holy, holy, holy Lord God of
 Hosts.
Heaven and earth are full of your
 glory.
Hosanna in the highest.

Benedictus
Benedictus qui venit in nomine
 Domini.
Osanna in excelsis.

Benedictus
Blessed is he who comes in the name of
 the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.

Agnus Dei
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata
 mundi, miserere nobis.
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata
 mundi, dona nobis pacem.

Agnus Dei
O Lamb of God, who take away the sins of
 the world, have mercy on us.
O Lamb of God, who take away the sins of
 the world, grant us peace.
