Os iusti meditabitur sapientiam,
Et lingua eius loquetur indicium.
Beatus vir qui suffert tentationem,
Quoniqm cumm probates fuerit accipient coronam vitae.
Kyrie, ignis divine, eleison
O quam sancta, quam serena, quam benigma, quam amoena
O castitatis lilium
The words above are the lyrics of a song entitled "Lilium". It is a very beautiful and meaningful song. The composition is great and the singing is phenomenal. If you can also provide an accurate translation into English I will reward you best answer.

"The mouth of the just will declaim the truth,
and his tongue will speak justice
Happy the man who bears temptation
for with the accepted ones he will be, getting the crown of life.
Lord, divine fire, have mercy !
O how holy, how bright, how kind, how lovely
o lily of purity"
The Language is Latin, with some Greek "kyrie eleison" - Lord, have mercy!

it's latin for sure. so here's your translation:
The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdom
And his tongue shall speak judgement
Blessed the man who resists temptation
For when proved he shall receive the crown of life
Lord, Divine Fire, have mercy
O how holy, how serene
How benevolent, how comforting,
O Lily of Chastity.

Ecclesiastical Latin (though "Kyrie" is Greek for "Lord). "Lilium" means "lily."
