Lyics

THEE we adore, O gracious Lord;

We praise thy name with one accord;

Thy saints, who here thy goodness see,

Through all the world do worship thee.



To thee aloud all angels cry,

And ceaseless raise their songs on high;

Both cherubim and seraphim,

The heavens and all the powers therein.



Th' apostles join the glorious throng;

The prophets swell th' immortal song;

The martyr's noble army raise

Eternal anthems to thy praise.



Thee, holy, holy, holy King;

Thee, O Lord God of hosts, they sing;

Thus earth below, and heaven above,

Resound thy glory and thy love.
