'''Sanctus''', set to Isaiah vi.3 (“Holy, Holy, Holy"), is the fourth part of the [[Mass (music)| Latin Mass Ordinary]]. In plainchant form, it became part of the liturgy during the earliest times of the [[Christian]] church and had reached full bloom by the 11th century. It can be followed immediately in its musical setting by the Benedictus, ("Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord") so that depending on time and place of composition the two are sometimes considered as one. | '''Sanctus''', set to Isaiah vi.3 (“Holy, Holy, Holy"), is the fourth part of the [[Mass (music)| Latin Mass Ordinary]].
