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 

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!
