1.
O God, we praise thee; and confess
that thou the only Lord
and everlasting Father art,
by all the earth adored.
2.
To thee all angels cry aloud;
to thee the powers on high,
both cherubim and seraphim,
continually do cry:
3.
O holy, holy, holy Lord,
whom heavenly hosts obey,
the world is with the glory filled
of thy majestic sway!
4.
The apostles' glorious company,
and prophets crowned with light,
with all the martyrs' noble host,
thy constant praise recite.
5.
The holy church in faith proclaims,
thy Son who for us died,
also the Holy Comforter,
our advocate and guide.
