Te Deum LaudamusWe praise Thee, O God: we acknowledge Thee to be the Lord. All the earth doth worship Thee and the Father everlasting. To Thee all Angels: to Thee the heavens and all the Powers therein. To Thee the Cherubim and Seraphim: cry with unceasing voice: Holy, Holy, Holy: Lord God of Hosts. The heavens and the earth are full: of the majesty of Thy glory. Thee the glorious choir: of the Apostles. Thee the admirable company: of the Prophets. Thee the white-robed army of Martyrs: praise. Thee the Holy Church throughout all the world: doth acknowledge. The Father of infinite Majesty. Thine adorable, true: and only Son. Also the Holy Ghost: the Paraclete. Thou art the King of Glory: O Christ. Thou art the everlasting Son: of the Father. Thou having taken upon Thee to deliver man: didst not abhor the Virgin’s womb. Thou having overcome the sting of death: didst open to believers the kingdom of heaven. Thou sittest at the right hand of God: in the glory of the Father. We believe that Thou shalt come: to be our Judge. We beseech Thee, therefore, help Thy servants: whom Thou has redeemed with Thy precious Blood. Make them to be numbered with Thy Saints: in glory everlasting. Lord, save Thy people: and bless Thine inheritance. Govern them: and lift them up forever. Day by day: we bless Thee. And we praise Thy name forever: and world without end. Vouchsafe, O Lord, this day: to keep us without sin. Have mercy on us, O Lord: have mercy on us. Let Thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us: as we have hoped in Thee. O Lord, in Thee have I hoped: let me never be confounded.
