Lyrics

Ye watchers and ye holy ones,
bright seraphs, cherubim, and thrones,
raise the glad strain,
Alleluia!
Cry out, dominions, princedoms, powers,
virtues, archangels, angels' choirs,

Refrain:
Alleluia! alleluia! alleluia!
Alleluia! alleluia!


O higher than the cherubim,
more glorious than the seraphim,
lead their praises,
Alleluia!
Thou bearer of the eternal Word,
most gracious, magnify the Lord,

Refrain:
Alleluia! alleluia! alleluia!
Alleluia! alleluia!


Respond, ye souls in endless rest,
ye patriarchs and prophets blest,
Alleluia,
alleluia!
Ye holy twelve, ye martyrs strong,
all saints triumphant, raise the song,

Refrain:
Alleluia! alleluia! alleluia!
Alleluia! alleluia!


O friends, in gladness let us sing,
supernal anthems echoing,
Alleluia,
alleluia!
To God the Father, God the Son,
and God the Spirit, Three in One,

Refrain:
Alleluia! alleluia! alleluia!
Alleluia! alleluia!
