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 heav'ns and all the pow'rs therein.



Th' apostles join the glorious throng;

The prophets swell th' immortal song;

The martyrs' 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 heav'n above,

Resound Thy glory and Thy love.
