Lyrics: 

Et ídeo novi testaménti mediátor est : ut, morte intercedénte, in redemptiónem eárum prævaricatiónum, quæ erant sub prióri testaménto, repromissiónem accípiant, qui vocáti sunt ætérnæ hereditátis.  Ubi enim testaméntum est : mors necésse est intercédat testatóris.  Testaméntum enim in mórtuis confirmátum est : alióquin nondum valet, dum vivit qui testátus est.  Unde nec primum quidem sine sánguine dedicátum est.
 Et non dicitur Tu autem.

Translated Lyrics: 

And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.  For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.  For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.  Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.
The V. But thou, O Lord is not said.
