We praise thee God, we knowledge thee,

the only Lord to be,

and as eternal Father all,

the earth doth worship thee:

To thee all Angels cry, the heavens

and all the powers therein,

To thee Cherub and Seraphim,

to cry they do not lin.

O holy, holy, holy Lord,

of Sabbath Lord the God,

Through heaven and earth thy praise is spread,

and glory all abroad.

The Apostles’ glorious company

yield praises unto thee:

The Prophets’ goodly fellowship

praise thee continually.

The noble and victorious host

of Martyrs found thy praise:

The holy Church throughout the world,

doth knowledge thee always.

Father of endless Majesty

they do acknowledge thee:

Thy Christ, thine honorable, true,

and only son to be.

The holy Ghost the Comforter,

of glory thou art King.

O Christ and of the Father art

the son everlasting.

When sinful man’s decay in hand

thou tookest to restore,

To be enclosed in virgin’s womb

thou diddest not abhor.

When thou hadst overcome of death

the sharp and cruel might,

Thou heaven’s kingdom didst set up

to each believing wight.

In glory of the Father thou

doest sit on God’s right hand:

We trust that thou shalt come our Judge,

our cause to understand.

Lord help thy servants whom thou hast

bought with thy precious blood:

And in eternal glory set

them with thy Saints so good.

O Lord, do thou thy people save,

bless thine inheritance:

Lord govern them and Lord do thou

For ever them advance.

We magnify thee day by day,

and world without an end

Adore thy holy name, O Lord,

vouchsafe us to defend.

From sin this day. Have mercy Lord,

have mercy on us all:

And on us as we trust in thee,

Lord let thy mercy fall.

O Lord, I have reposed all

my confidence in thee:

Put to confounding shame therefore,

let me never be.
