Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice The monument of a deceiving spirit Of myriads of deceiving spirits born of our godly father Thou that acknowledgest the son, do not deny the father Rather, stand up with the twenty four elders and say Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come! Accept the truth revealed in Emmanuel And listen: one Lord, one faith, one baptism All that He decides is holy, all that He says is law Do not worship Him by kneeling before Him if in thine heart Is no true joy at the sight of Ariel covered by the ashes of devastation. Do not worship Him unless your soul glitters of the purity of sin And of unearthly virtues. It shall truly contain the vision of the fallen tabernacle of David, That which brought forth our Elisha that ignites in flames so pure. Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice Let no human knowledge impeach Divine Truths Nor any mists of incredulity prevent your mind From touching Divine Mysteries, hear the voice: Before Abraham was I am Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice Drink from the grail He sanctified when The frail saviour failed to raise up The destroyed temple in three days And open your purged mind To Divine Oracles: May the tributes of faith be rendered to Faith. Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice I shall descend in humiliation before Thee And ascend before men only if thy will ordains me In the midst of my carnal temple shall forevermore Sound these tremendous words Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come! Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come! Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!
