Factus est repente [It happened suddenly] (Acts 2: 2, 4) – Chant

Acts 2: 2, 4 [Latin] – ² And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were.

⁴ And they were all filled with the holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim.

Original Latin:

Factus est repente de coelo sonus advenientis spiritus vehementis, ubi erant sedentes, alleluia: et repleti sunt omnes Spiritu Sancto, loquentes magnalia Dei, alleluia, alleluia.

Chant translation:

Suddenly, a sound came from heaven like the rush of a mighty wind, in the place where they were sitting, alleluia; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and announced the great things God had done, alleluia, alleluia.
