<p>Ye watchers and ye holy ones,<br>
|
|
Bright seraphs, cherubim and thrones,<br>
|
|
Raise the glad strain, Alleluia!<br>
|
|
Cry out, dominions, princedoms, powers,<br>
|
|
Virtues, archangels, angels’ choirs:</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Alleluia! Alleluia!<br>
|
|
Alleluia! Alleluia!<br>
|
|
Alleluia!</p>
|
|
<p>O higher than the cherubim,<br>
|
|
More glorious than the seraphim,<br>
|
|
Lead their praises, Alleluia!<br>
|
|
Thou bearer of th’eternal Word,<br>
|
|
Most gracious, magnify the Lord.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Respond, ye souls in endless rest,<br>
|
|
Ye patriarchs and prophets blest,<br>
|
|
Alleluia! Alleluia!<br>
|
|
Ye holy twelve, ye martyrs strong,<br>
|
|
All saints triumphant, raise the song.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>O friends, in gladness let us sing,<br>
|
|
Supernal anthems echoing,<br>

Alleluia! Alleluia!<br>
|
|
To God the Father, God the Son,<br>
|
|
And God the Spirit, Three in One.</p>
