We Praise You, O God

We praise you, O God, we acclaim you as Lord;
all creation worships you, Father everlasting.
To you all angels, all the powers of heaven,
cherubim and seraphim, sing in endless praise:
Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of heavenly host,
heaven and earth are full of your glory.

The glorious company of apostles praise you.
The noble fellowship of prophets praise you.
The white-robed army of martyrs praise you.
Throughout the world the holy Church acclaims you:
Father of majesty unbounded,
your glorious, true, and only Son,
and the Holy Spirit, advocate and guide.

You, Christ, are the King of glory, the eternal Son of the Father.
When you became man to set us free,
you humbled yourself to be born of a virgin.
You overcame the sting of death
and opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers.
You sit at the right hand of God in the glory of the Father.
We believe that you will come to be our judge.
Come then, Lord, and help your people,
bought with the price of your own blood,
and bring us with your saints to glory everlasting.
Amen
