Festival Te Deum

We praise thee, O God:

we knowledge thee to be the Lord.

All the earth doth worship thee: the Father everlasting.

To thee all Angels cry aloud:

the heavens and all the powers therein.

To thee Cherubim and Seraphim: continually do cry,

Holy, Holy, Holy: Lord God of Sabaoth;

Heaven and earth are full of the Majesty:

of thy glory.

The glorious company of the Apostles: praise thee.

The noble army of Martyrs: praise thee.

The holy Church throughout all the world:

doth knowledge thee;

The Father: of an infinite Majesty;

Thine honourable, true: and only Son;

Also the Holy Ghost: the Comforter.

Thou art the King of glory: O Christ.

Thou art the everlasting: Son of the Father.

When thou tookest upon thee to deliver Man:

thou didst not abhor the Virgin's womb.

When thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death:

thou didst open the kingdom of heaven to all believers.

Thou sittest on the right hand of God:

in the glory of the Father.

We believe that thou shalt come: to be our Judge.

We therefore pray thee, help thy servants:

whom thou hast redeemed with thy precious blood.

Make them to be numbered with thy Saints:

in glory everlasting.

O Lord, save thy people: and bless thine heritage.

Govern them: and lift them up for ever.

Day by day: we magnify thee;

And we worship thy Name: ever world without end.

Vouchsafe, O Lord:

to keep us this day without sin.

O Lord, have mercy upon us: have mercy upon us.

O Lord, in thee have I trusted:

let me never be confounded.
