"Ecce Sacerdos Magnus"

(Latin)
Ecce sacerdos magnus, qui in diebus suis placuit Deo.
Ideo jurejurando fecit illum Dominus crescere in plebem suam.
Benedictionem omnium gentium dedit illi
et testamentum suum confirmavit super caput ejus.

Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto:
Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper,
et in sæcula sæculorum. Amen.

(English translation)
Behold a great priest, who in his days pleased God.
Therefore, by an oath, the Lord made him increase among his people.
He gave him the blessing of all nations,
and confirmed his covenant upon his head.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen.
