Terribilis est locus iste :
hic domus Dei est,
et porta coeli:
et vocábitur aula Dei.
(Ps. 83: 2, 3) Quam dilécta tabernácula tua, Dómine virtútum!
Concupíscit et déficit ánima mea in átria Dómini.

This is a place of awe: this is God's house, the gate of heaven,
and it shall be called the royal court of God.
How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord Almighty!
My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord.
