Lyrics: 

Terribilis est locus iste: hic domus dei est, et porta caeli: et vocabitur aula dei.  Quam dilecta tabernacula tua, Domine virtutum.  Concupiscit et deficit anima mea in atria domini.

Translated Lyrics: 

Terrible is this place: the house of God is here, and the gate of heaven: and this court shall be called of God.  How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of Hosts. My soul and desires fall short of the courts of the Lord.
