Your translation makes no sense.
For example, the Latin in the second to last stanza says,
"Therefore our meeting
Sing now in brightness
Let it praise the lord
Greeting to the king"
Literally, and you put,
"That is why our congregation praises Him,
redeemed/purified by the Sacrifice,
And blesses the Lord, the King of our Salvation"
That is nothing like the Latin at all.

I wasn't trying to be rude, I know this translator. We are good friends so I was joking with him.

I know you didn't. I was just clarifying so you didn't think I was being rude. :)

I see, I was thinking of lustrum, the sacrifice. Still, it should be "congregation" since no one refers to the church as a "meeting", even if literally translated it would be correct. :)
"Benedicere" (well+say) is also "to bless", and is often used so in the Bible ;)
"The closed gate of Hezechiel" - the East door of the Old Testament Temple was closed to lay people since it led to and from the Sanctuary/the Tabernacle/the Holiest of the Holy
