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.



The apostles join the glorious throng;

The prophets swell the 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.
