She has the ejaculations at the end of the Divine Mercy Chaplet in the original language. A very ancient and powerful prayer.

TRISAGION 

The "Thrice Holy" Prayer

According to Wikipedia, the word trisagion is from the Greek tris- (three) + hagios (holy). It is pronounced “tree-sah-yon.” The Trisagion ('Thrice Holy') is a standard hymn of the Divine Liturgy in most of the Eastern Orthodox Churches, Oriental Orthodox Churches and Eastern Catholic Churches.

The Trisagion prayer is considered one of the oldest prayers in Christianity. It may be that the prayer was originally an expansion of the angelic cry recorded in Revelation 4:8 (sometimes called the Sanctus).

In English this is:

Holy God, Holy [and] Mighty, Holy [and] Immortal, have mercy on us.

In Latin this is:

Sanctus/Sancte Deus, Sanctus/Sancte Fortis, Sanctus/Sancte Immortalis, miserere nobis.

In Aramaic:

ܩܕܝܫܐ ܐܠܗܐ، ܩܕܝܫܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ، ܩܕܝܫܐ ܠܐ ܡܝܘܬܐ، ܐܬܪܚܡܥܠܝܢ
Qadeeshat Aloho, Qadeeshat Hyeltono, Qadeeshat Lamoyouto, 'Ithraħam 'alein.

I’ve prayed the Trisagion in Arabic with a local Melkite parish. Beautiful!
