What does Tomas Luis de Victoria's mass 'O quam gloriosum' have in common with the motet 'O quam gloriosum'?

What the mass and the motet have in common is their composition by the same composer. As a Spanish composer of religious music, Tomas Luis Victoria [1548-August 20, 1611] is known for his motets, which are anthems; and masses. An example of one of his masses, and of one of his motets, is 'O quam gloriosum [est regnum]', which translates as 'Oh how glorious [is the kingdom]'. The mass and the motet in question share the composer, the music, and the title, but not the words. For the words of the mass come from the Catholic text for celebrating the mass. And the motet's words come from an All Saints' Day antiphon, which is a kind of refrain that's sung at the beginning of a psalm and at the end of each verse of that psalm. Therefore, the antiphon and the motet end with the quotation from Revelation 14:4, 'Sequuntur agnum quocumque ierit', which means 'They follow the Lamb wherever He goes.'
