Do you know which Sutta or collection of Suttas it is from?
this is the lyrics from “Beautiful Buddhist Song”
:pray:t2:

Namo Tassa Bhagavato Arahato Samma Sambuddhassa (3x)
Puttakamo labhe puttam Dhanakamo labhe dhanam
Atthi kaye kayanaya Devanam pitayam suttva
Itipiso Bhagava, Ya mala cano gave Sumvanno
Moranam Sukkham Araham Sugati. Namo Buddhaya

Jayasanagata Buddha
Jetavamaram savahanam
Catusaccasabham rasam
Ye pivimsu narasabha

        Tanhamkaradayo Buddha
        Atthavisati nayaka
        Sabbe pattithita mayham
        Matthake te munissara

Sise patthito mayham
Buddho Dhammo dvilocane
Sangho patithito mayham
Ure sabbagunakaro

        Hadaye me Anuruddho
        Sariputto ca dakkhine
        Kondanno pitthibhagasamim
        Monggallano ca vamake

Dakkhine savane mayham
Asum Ananda Rahulo
Kassapo ca Mahanamo
Ubhasum vamasotake

        Kesato pitthibhagasmim
        Suriyo va pabhamkaro
        Nisinno sirisampanno
        Sobhito munipumgavo

Kumarassapo thero
Mahesi cittavadako
So mayham vadane niccam
Patthasi gunakaro

        Punno Angulimalo ca
        Upali Nanda Sivali
        Thera panca ime jata
        Nalate tilaka mama

Sesasiti mahathera
Vijita jinasavaka
Etesiti mahathera
Jitavanto jinorasa

        Jalanta silatejena
        Angamangesu sabthita
        Ratanam purato asi
        Dakkhine Mettasuttakam

Dhajaggam pacchato asi
Vame Angulimalakam
Khandha Morarittanca
Atanatiyasuttakham

        Akase chandanam asi
        Sesa pakarasanthita
        Jinanavarasamyutta
        Sattapakaralamkata

Vatapittadisanjata
Bahirajjhattupaddava
Asesa vinayam yantu
Anatajinatejasa

        Vasato me sakiccena sada
        Sambuddhapaljare
        Jinapanjaramajjhamhi
        Viharantam mahitale
        Sada palentu mam sabbe
        Te mahapusasbha

Iccevamanto sugutto surakkho
Jinanubhavena jitupaddavo
Dhammanubhavena jitarisangho
Sanghanubhavena jitantarayo

        Saddhammanubhavapalito
        Carami jinapnare-ti

A simple google search of the first line turned up this page: The Chanting Book for Family, Pali-English alphabet, and translation – Dharmaforliving

The footnote says:

[Assumed that, the thera of Lanna kingdom was written. This was an essential verse in the ceremony since the Ayutthaya kingdom. The evidence was appear in the Royal ceremony of Rajadhiraj Imperial Emperor. Later, this gatha was edit by Somdej Phra Puttajarn (Toh), Wat Rakhang Khositaram, Bangkok Noi district, Bangkok, Thailand]

It’s not from any sutta. There are lots and lots of later (by that I mean 1,000 years+) chanting texts that have been written in Pali. This appears to be one of them.
