The angels are singing This prayer is called the Sanctus because that is its first word in Latin. The first line is the hymn of the seraphim in Isaiah 6:3 and Revelation 4:8.

Hosanna is a Hebrew term which is derived from the words yasha, which means “save,” and na, which is an expression of entreaty or request and can be translated in a variety of ways-for example, “I pray,” “I beseech,” “please,” or “O.” The Hebrew terms were combined - yasha na (“O, save!”), as in Psalm 118:25 - and this became hosanna.
