Te Deum

We praise thee, O God; we acknowledge thee to be the Lord. All the earth doth worship thee, the Father everlasting. To thee all angels cry aloud, the heavens and all the powers therein. To thee cherubim and seraphim continually do cry: Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of hosts. Heaven and earth are full of the majesty of thy glory.

The glorious choir of the apostles praise thee. The admirable company of the prophets praise thee. The white-robed army of martyrs praise thee. The holy Church throughout the world doth acknowledge thee: the Father of infinite majesty; thine adorable, true, and only Son; also the Holy Ghost, the Comforter.

Thou art the King of glory, O Christ. Thou art the everlasting Son of the Father. When thou tookest upon thee to deliver man, thou didst not abhor the Virgin’s womb. When thou hadst overcome the sting of death, thou didst open the kingdom of heaven to all believers. Thou sittest at the right hand of God, in the glory of the Father. We believe that thou shalt come to be our judge.
