The Benedictus of the Latin Mass forms part of the Sanctus. The latter marks the start of the Canon of the Mass, while the Benedictus itself may be separated from the preceding sentences, to follow the Consecration.
The text itself is short and simple:
Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini.
Hosanna in excelsis.
Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.
It is taken from St Matthew's account of Christ's entry into Jerusalem, celebrated on Palm Sunday, when the people welcomed him with words taken from the Psalms: Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
