Translation (Literal):
You may be able to tell that some of the phrases are simply nonsensical. In Latin, certain terms can be mixed around in a sentence and still be grammatically correct. However, I translated this chant in a fashion that makes sense to American English speakers.

Sacred Objects Lord
Pecavi Ignoviunt (Clunk)
Admit Sin ingorant
Iuesus Christus Domine (Clunk)
Commanded Christ Lord
Pax Vobiscum Venerunt (Clunk)
