Te Deum

O, God We Praise Thee / Te Deum

English version:
       
O God, we praise Thee: we acknowledge Thee to be the Lord.        
Thee, the Father, all the earth doth worship.        
To Thee all the Angels, the Heavens and all the Powers,        
To Thee the Cherubim and Seraphim cry out without ceasing:        
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Hosts!        
Full are the Heavens and the earth of the majesty of Thy glory.        
The glorious choir of the Apostles praises Thee,        
The admirable company of Prophets praises Thee,        
the white-robed army of Martyrs, praise Thee.        
Thee, the Holy Church throughout the world doth confess:        
The Father of infinite Majesty;        
Thy adorable, true and only Son;        
Also the Holy Ghost, the Comforter.        
Thou, O Christ, are the King of glory!        
Thou art the everlasting Son of the Father.        
Thou, having taken it upon Thyself to deliver man, didst not disdain the Virgin's womb.        
Thou, having overcome the sting of death, hast opened to believers the Kingdom of Heaven.        
Thou sittest at the right hand of God, in the glory of the Father.        
Thou, we believe, art the Judge to come.        
We beseech Thee, therefore, to help Thy servants whom Thou hast redeemed with Thy Precious Blood.        
Make them to be numbered with Thy Saints in everlasting glory.        
O Lord, save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance!        
And govern them, and exalt them forever.        
Day by day we bless Thee        
And we praise Thy Name forever: yea, forever and ever.        
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, for we have trusted in Thee.        
O Lord, in Thee I have trusted; let me not be counfounded forever.        
V. Blessed art Thou, O Lord, the God of our fathers.        
R. And worthy to be praised and glorified for ever.        
V. Let us bless the Father and the Son, with the Holy Ghost.        
R. Let us praise and magnify Him for ever.
