What Does This Say?

I bought a hanging stained glass of Daniel but I can't figure out what the quote says. This image shows the same in black and white:

Something in latin about the "western face of the earth"?

See Daniel 8:5 in latin? "... Occidente super faciem totius terræ ... " Maybe this was a western facing window?

Fortunately this stained glass window actually still exists; it's in a German cathedral. So I'm surprised no-one has any info (from what I can find) on the quote.

It's beautiful. I love medieval artwork

I think I've found it:

Nunc ergo exaudi Deus noster orationem servi tui, et preces eius: et ostende faciem tuam super sanctuarium tuum, quod desertum est propter temetipsum.

Mediaeval Latin is heavily abbreviated. You see the mark over the a in tua and e in facie probably stands for the m.

'And show thy face upon thy sanctuary'.

It would fit with its being a cathedral.

Yes I think you've probably got it. I had just got as far as deciphering Ostende.... ?Danae?.... Facie...Tua.......

But there does seem to be something between ostende and facie(m) starting with D.

I think they've used a slightly different Latin translation.
